    You could still flash Buster to a Pi3B+ (if you can find one) and it should still work. Frankly I wouldn't bother as Buster will shortly be archived. Commented Jun 3 at 6:47
  • See LED Warning Flash Codes 4 long 7 short indicates Power failure type B but it is unclear if this applies to old models. Commented Jun 3 at 7:25
  • 3B+ is capable of booting from USB - does it? though, re-reading the question it's probably not a valid thought - seeing as a bookworm image runs fine as far as you've said Commented Jun 3 at 8:09
  • Thanks, @Milliways I did find that error code but seeing that the device boots fine with a later image I do not think it is a power issue. Commented Jun 3 at 8:14
  • Thank you @Milliways I edited the question for clarity, changing "latest Raspbian" to Raspberry OS which is in fact bookworm, also added URL. Commented Jun 3 at 9:46
