Hi.
Sorry, for the price of the thing, I decided to put it to rest and wait for the other one to come in.
Thanks everyone for pitching in.

so, I take it that it didn't work ? sorry :/
[edit] I just looked at the pictures in your sig. Did you have one of those large heatsinks attached when the board fell ? If so, then perhaps it damaged a trace / shorted something out as it moved or slipped ?

yeah, rats.

Yes it did.
I don't think it did as it's spaced with a copper spacer and it all was squishy in CPU thermal paste. And I did inspect the board thoroughly.
It served its time well. Always the best leaving us first. Couldn't a banana pi m3 have died in its place?
Thanks to you all.

you could try a powered hub in addition to usb power just for chuckles.

You forgot to mention the half-dozen resistors tacked across the 3.3v and 5v rpi/euler power pins to ensure maximum smoke/bang and ensure minimum disappointment
(look up BigClive's resistor roulette if you don't get it!)

Thanks to you all...
Ended up buying 3 more Pine64's.
- to replace the one I just dropped/broke.
- to replace the one I am using to replace the one I dropped, in case I drop it too.
- to make sure I still have on in case I drop them both.
Have a great evening.
