Anyone else have a dead desktop 120W power supply?  It would occassionally flicker when I first got it, but seemed stable enough (dumb, I know).  Now its just kaput.

I dont know if anyone has had one die and got it back running again?  I love the little unit was great for my Pinebook and Pi/Arduinos.

Wondering if I just got a bad unit that I should have returned?  or worth fixing?

Thank!
I would advise against opening a power supply, as this can be dangerous. Probably best to open a ticket under https://support.pine64.org

Thats probably a good call. Smile  Do you know if failure rate in them is high? or low?

Here at the community we don't really have insight in that. From people often asking in the chat etc. I would say issues are more common than with other Pine devices but I know that the power supply has upgraded internals over the OEM design to increase the life span.

The 120W PinePower failure rate is quite low.
I've never had trouble like this myself, contact support
