Tried installing a RPi Zero 2W, but it seems to be ignored?

I have soldered the pins according to instructions, although they are about 14mm in length instead of the stated 12.5mm in the instructions. Got a microsd card with prusa link on it. Enabled the RPi port setting in the firmware. Somehow the RPi is ignored though? No IP is being requested on the network. My printer is a 2nd hand MK3S with Revo6 firmware. Any clues on how I might be able to troubleshoot this and see where the error might be? How do I check if the RPi is even alive?

ANY lights lighting up on the pi?

Double check which pins you used (easy to be off by one) and your soldering.  Post some photos here so we can check as well.  Does the Pi work if you remove it from the printer and power it via the USB PWR IN port?

@hello and @jimb : I have it working. I'm not sure why, but somehow it did boot this time. Maybe I was too impatient for getting that IP last time and filming the first boot might have taken much longer than I anticipated, making me abort the boot when I didn't see a lease on my router.

Sorry for the fuss and thanks for your help!

Yes they can take a while on first boot to do the configuration. Glad you got it working now though.
