  • Raspberry Pi 3 B+ catastrophic failure after 9 days operation.

    Possible word of warning here to any Raspberry pi Model 3 B+ user.

    Had one of these working in an ambient of around 24degc with a heatsink, standard raspian pi software installed and FR24feed installed with bash. Found offline yesterday - attempts to re-boot, reload new SD card all failed, red light on continuously, Supply current less than 10mA. - It's dead Jim. - Almost certainly the processor overheated even with a recommended heatsink. - Will be replacing with an older model Model B +512Kb - one of which is happily already working (with MLAT) in a loft where the Ambient rises to 40+c. It may be a one off but I suspect not.
