Bad power switch, replaced it.

Garbled flickering screen, broken leg on PLA, ghetto sandwich in a socket with some tacked on capacitor legs.

Garbage screen, suspected U19 6567 vic2, ociliscope was reading + and - 2 volt ripple on vcc and chip was getting up to 157F, replaced it.

Shooting for one more out of the two that are left.

I made that same comment on another forum, and someone came back with "Well just use the ______ variant of USB-C that can negotiate to 9V and and and."

Dude, you definitely don't want auto-negotiation anything because that shit is built to specs as loose as a tranny's morals. Just use a 12V 3A power adapter from an old monitor and be done with it.

They probably didn’t want to use expensive mosfets to save costs.

That and save space, It was part of their core design philosophy that they have the computer run off of readily available power supplies. That is not the case since the pi4 however. I just want them to start making the original B again damn it. 200mv to 1amp max current and plenty of processing power to run a bunch of stuff.
