WIRELESS CHARGING ADD-ON CASE

[Fred Zyphal]

So ... I ordered two of the WIRELESS CHARGING ADD-ON CASE, one for my original PinePhone and one for my Pro.

My "Qi" compliant charging base has an indicator light that tells me something has successfully engaged the field, both of the charging cases will light the light, and I can measure 5VDC on a couple of the pins of the "flexible fanout" (that's what we call the Kapton with traces in the aerospace industry), however neither of the phones will charge.

Am I doing something wrong?  My concern is that the flexible fanout is not indexed, not held down, it just sort of flops around in the breeze and may not be engaging the pogo pins correctly.

Is anybody else seeing anything like this?

Ok, never mind ... I noticed that there was a bit of sticky stuff on the back side of the flexible fanout, I aligned it with the six holes for the pogo pins as best I could, pressed it down hard, and now it's working.
