Keyboard drawing only 0.1A from charger

[PakoSt]

Check in the #pinephone channel.



iirc this is due to the D1 diode that was added with the April batch. I did make a small short on mine to go around it but I would definitely check on the channel first.

Spoiler:

Here is my... attempt at the short

Quoting megi here:

[i]<megi1>: CalcProgrammer1 discovered that protection diode was placed at VBUS of KB input, which prevents charging, instead of at phone's VBUS outptut, which would maybe protect the kb boost output from damage when plugging in something into a phone's type-c port
so, no protection, and crippled charging ability

[I] <megi1> easy HW fix is to short the diode

Still, before doing anything of the sort - confirm that this is the cause of your trouble!
