Hi,

I got the same problem. When I plug in a 5V power supply one LED ligths up
and goes off again. After that nothing happens.
When I plug in the USB cable (in addition to the 5V) the BBB starts booting.

Is this behavior normal?

@Gerald Coley
What is the part number of the power supply?
unknown. It's 5V power supply from my phone.

Is it connected to the same ground as the rest of they system?
I suppose it's done inside the BBB. Isn't it?

When plugged in, what  is the measured voltage?
+5V
