My RockPro64 died after 8 months

No it's not a stock one, way better of a stock one. Now it's connected to a device that needs more than 4A and it's stable. By the way talking about 3A while mine can output 6A is a nonsense. Basic knowledge of currents... A higher amperage won't destroy any electronics... It's the same as telling that a 100uf 25V capacitor destroyed an IC while the default was a 100uf 16V... Moreover it have a surge protection, so no way that the failure is caused by a sudden over voltage. Anyway I'm always testing PSU before connecting anything to them. The biggest problem of all this situation it's not even the 30 warranty (however a company that is giving only 30 days, should speak for itself), it's that there's nowhere to repair it. While the emc module is fine, probably the repair wouldn't be expensive. Anyway I bought this RockPro64 with an 32GB module and a case. I paid  over 100 bucks, frankly it's a little bit too much for 9 months of usage (really less, because I started using it after 2-3 months...).

pfeerickSorry to hear that it failed on you. Given that they (pine64 support) are talking about the 3A and 5A 12v power supplies, I take it you weren't using a stock PSU?

I'm using a solar setup, so have a adjustable DC-DC module that takes the 12 - 14.4 from the 12v battery, and outputs a steady 12v... and it has been running 24x7 on that for about 12 months now with a NVMe drive + 2 external USB3 hard drives as a NAS box + other bits and pieces... before that I was using the board on and off for about 6 months testing different bits and pieces as the OS images were being brought up.

The fact that it didn't fail within the first few hours / days of use does suggest if it were a manufacturing defect that whatever failed hung on for a while.
