on pinepower, pinecil stopped working..
#1
Hi,

when I plug in the pinecil in the pinepower, the latter shows 5.1V 0.0A and the pinecil stays off.
Worried the pinecil was bricked, I tried a regular usb-c and the pinecil comes on like no problem (except for the DC-LOW message)
I updated the firmware for a laugh, succeeded, but the pinepower fails me again.

I tried another cable, but that changed nothing.

Any help, tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated !

thx  S

I had the same problem when I had a USB lamp plugged in, it set the whole pinepower to 5v, do you have a USB-2 item plugged in too forcing the 5v?
