pine64 failed after 6 months

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I will try the latest release tommorow. I am using a 64gb Samsung (official) card.

As per the power supply, powering from the Euler bus is an option for a box on a bench. For me I need to move the unit around an run demos of streaming apps on it. I am using my rock64 for the moment.

I will order a new power adapter I can try on the Euler bus, but for me I would have to drill my machined aluminum case and add a barrel connector to make that work long term.

Good;  obviously, test before your drill...

... my cases are not milled aluminum;  I did mount barrel connectors in my cases with wires running to the euler bus DCIN pins.  This works very well;

... as we're talking;  thinking of things that can go wrong,  ESD shock, lightning, power surge, short from stray gpio pin, internal short due to milled aluminum case;  as to the last,  thinking towards you replacing the board with an LTS double insulate the board in the aluminum case -- make sure that there can be no internal shorts to that metal case !

best of luck to you
