PBP just 'sploded - Phillip Bell - 06-14-2020
I've had it for a few weeks and was using it today. Installing QT5 so that I could eventually flash the new 20.6 i3 that strit just put out.
I heard a tiny "pop", screen went blank, and now, it won't boot. Battery was charging with 5V3A charger, had it hooked up to Auzai external monitor, and installing QT5. Battery was a little warm under the bottom, but not red hot.
I think I now have a brick. Any recommendations?
OK, good news, D-0 is back (yes, I have my PBP themed for a Star Wars droid, complete with ogg sound-clips and custom wallpaper).
After he cooled off for about an hour, I plugged in the power adapter and was then able to boot the machine.
I'm wondering if this is a thermal failsafe? Does the board or batteries shut off with high temp?
