What do you expect Pine Inc to say ? No conclusive evidence for hardware failure.
The problem is not envronmental, and its not software. This is very clearly a hardware related issue, probably due to soldering quality and inconsistency of available components. The community has to keep on keeping on ! Keep collecting the data, and keep working towards finding the root cause.
My next step is to reflow the entire area of the RLT8211E chip; as well, the chip itself. This is a huge risk, but what the dickens... its a $29 dollar experiment; I probably won't hurt the board, and I may fix it. We'll see... time will tell. In the mean time, don't allow confussion to reign, and stay the course !
Well, even if you got angry about or with him, its no reason to kick him, but thats really off topic....
Agree to collect data about the issue, but also please allow data to be collected in a sensefull context and also in every possible direction. To nail the problem down to a hardware issue BEFORE really proofing it, is also not helpful!
