Just received it. All ok (except there is no screw onto the cpu plate, guess cm is an adapter). but when push the button only got a green light. Try also mini hdmi got nothing. And unlike pc no sound to confirm it is booted as well.
Found the screw and after detached my pi-cm4 I can see the two screw hole but once the pi is inserted the two holes are covered. Hence this should not be the problem.
I am not sure about the heat sink and have not installed it. But my experience of pi4 is that it would boot up just suffer if too hot. But nothing happen. Hence should not be heat sink.
I double check the screen connection and all seemed right.
Hence no screen. And I note there is a fan and it does not move as well. Hence not sure what to do next.
I’m having exactly the same problem after replacing the R01 module in my DevTerm with a CM4 and adapter. it booted up fine and worked normally with the R01 in there. I’ve since put in a new SD card with the CM4 image freshly installed. I do see the backlight flash very briefly after it powers on; after that all I have is just the green power light on.
@Dennis_Ng is your CM4 a unit with built-in eMMC storage? mine is, and I suspect the reason we are both having these problems is that the device cannot see the SD card slot because of the presence of built-in eMMC. I have the 32GB eMMC CM4 with 8GB RAM. I don’t think there is a way to get it to boot just with the DevTerm; per this blog post from Jeff Geerling (bless that man, tbh) I think we need carrier boards just to be able to use them by flashing the eMMC.

I should add: this state of affairs sucks. The DevTerm is a carrier board, for all intents and purposes. One should be able to set something up to use it to put the eMMC into USB mode as documented there.
