Whereas there are a number of problems commonly reported, such as weak WiFi, no sound, unable to set the time, keyboard and trackpad issues, etc., those are all most likely due to software and firmware. Issues with docks and dongles could be either software or hardware problems. This thread is to help keep track of electrical and mechanical issues that cannot be addressed through software or firmware.
1) The NVMe SSD interface adapter sold in the Pine Store did not fit. It was announced that a repair kit would be shipped. When will it ship? Does the adapter that is currently in the Pine store work, or is it the same one that doesn't work?
2) The serial console adapter sold in the Pine Store is apparently the wrong voltage and the wrong chipset for the PBP. Which 3.3V adapters have the correct chipset?
3) We need a Bill of Materials for mechanical parts, including specificity for screws, spacers, and the CPU heat transfer pad.
4) There are reports of the plastic underneath the USB ports breaking.
5) There are reports of the battery discharging while connected to external power via barrel port or USB-C. What is the maximum amount of current that the PBP can safely use from external power?
6) There are reports of various high-pitched or whining noises that seem related to the PBP's power supply circuitry.
