When I returned from Linaro Connect Q3.11 I noticed that none of my Pandaboards are on. I though that powered them off before leaving but two days later I needed at least one online. Power cycling PSU did not helped so I took 5V/3A one from box and got board running leaving old one for inspection later.
Today I disconnected all cables from PSU and opened it:
This does not look good… So time to buy another 100-200W old pc power supply and adapt for use with developer boards:
This big white connector had 12V, GND, 5V lines which allowed me to charge most of my developer boards and usb hubs.
It served well for 2.5 years — now have to recycle it…
Looks like it had overslag :) dunno the english word for it :)
This looks serious. Any idea what happened? Thunderstorm? BTW, this time you probably cannot wait, but I should have some spare power supplies from old PCs and would be more than happy to “recycle” them.
Thanks, but I decided to go for some big 5V power supply.
