No USB-PD IC detected

[Calhoon]

Hello!

I received my Pinecil in the mail yesterday.

When turning it on for the first time the screen flashed a message No USB-PD IC detected.



When powered from DC5525 the Pinecil works, but it emits strange crackling noises from the rear end where the power connectors are located.

Has anyone here experienced anything similar?

Thank you in advance,

Hello.  I am experiencing the same problem.  Cracking sounds appear when turned on.  And after a while this message.  The flashing did not help.  It looks like pd ic is out of order.  This has already happened with two accomplices.
