I can power up off another charger (tested using the charger and cable for my kindle), but the Pine wall charger is toast. Anyone else have that issue? Is there an issue with keeping it plugged for long periods of time? I think I'm going to go with Mr. Harris' suggestion of the raspberry pi charger as a replacement.
I must say that my intent is certainly not to disparage any particular brand or company, or vendor. My only intent was to let folks know what I've tested and experienced as 'good' over the long haul... my SBCs are on 24x7x365. There are a lot of substandard wall warts out there, some of them rated above their capacity, and some not able to sustain continued full load usage. Buyer beware.
The power supply I recommended is a quality supply... there may be others too, and your experience with the Pine supply may be a rare snafu... YMMV...
