Hi All,
No real problems with DIY build.
Power is another story.
PROBLEM
Use Windows including charging battery. Shut down Windows.
Two days later press power button, NOTHING, no light, no start.
Thought maybe had set to sleep and power drained (Doh ! )
Connected p/s waited a few seconds, pressed power, power button lights, Windows starts (Happy… ish)
BUT looked at power, plenty in the tank, so not flat battery.
Above scenario happened several times, exactly as above, p/s was needed before it would power up.
Searched and found web page on power …
None of the topics applied, only section that may have applied is…
If your power button doesn’t light up when pressed
But…
A. Power button does light when p/s is connected.
B. Left off for a short time, anything from minutes to a day and it DOES power up
Conclusion. Can’t be a poorly or not connected lead, made during DIY assembly!
==================================
So left with the problem.
I have not tried the using two power supplies one at each side solution mentioned in the above web link as unless there is some sophisticated circuitry using two supplies like this = BIG BANG.
One possibility is I may have initially powered from the left hand side not right as I have two Micro USB (C) modules one each side. Does the initial power from the LEFT cause a problem?
I guess I can disassemble in case the poorly connected lead could be the problem.
Regards…
