Thats when things got wrong: The power supply coils started to screech - and seconds later I was greeted with blue smoke and a dead Turing Pi 2. The firmware update actually flashed the board into a paper weight.</p> https://www.nico-maas.de/posts/2015-02-27-rasppi-hdmipi-repair-and-vga-upgrade/ Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:31:04 +0000 https://www.nico-maas.de/posts/2015-02-27-rasppi-hdmipi-repair-and-vga-upgrade/ <p>Sadly, some weeks ago, the Micro USB Port of my HDMIPi broke.<br> I wrote an letter to Alex Eames, which is quite known for <a class="link" href="https://hdmipi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >HDMIPi</a>, <a class="link" href="https://www.raspi.tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >RasPi.TV</a> and his lattest Kickstarter Project the <a class="link" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/raspitv/raspio-duino-affordable-arduino-programming-on-ras" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >RasPiO Duino</a>.<br> Alex is an awesome guy and gave me his blessings to try to repair that problem myself.<br> With some flux, a fine solder tip and soem patience, you can get that repaired in no time.<br> After succeeding, I created some strain-relief by using two-component epoxy resin to glue it down a bit. Highly recommended!</p>
