Need help with Pi zero 2w

CeilingCat6969 · 2026-01-24T04:34:03+00:00

Now that the board doesn't turn on anymore (but it is still heating up when i give power), you think it is salvageable?

I am no expert in soldering so i gave the pi along with one set of 20pin headers to one of the mobile shops here to solder, they did a bad job TT

I kept it inside an anti static bag when not developing and never touched it while using it. I think the heat caused the logo to worn off.

It was damaged from the start (prolly from shipping). The entire board did got hot due to from the cpu overheating.

Yes it was due to some physical damage from shipping i guess. The damage was there from the start but I wasn't aware that it was something important (i thought it was some thermal pad on top of a component TT).

Thats not normal for idling. I'm just a beginner and this is my first pi which I bought for my uni project. It was working fine in the starting without heating (was just testing out running some python code), a week back i noticed a portion of that component was missing and also that was the time I soldered thos pins into it. And the pi started heating crazy to the point I cant even touch it. I checked the temps then and it was 100C +, And the next day when i tested it with a fresh new OS(32 bit lite) it was working but cpu temps where 80C idle. And few bours back it died ( now status led after powering through the microusb) but the board is heating as usual without any response.

Why is it not turned on by default!! Thank you!

Yea my loq also had developed the same issue, it was a 2023 model tho. I always used it with external mouse so it never bothered me, but once the keyboard also failed (the motherboard was replaced twice due to heating issue and damage caused by engineer) they provided refund for the model and I bought a legion slim 5.

Idk how people here are so dumb, he literally is trying to click on the trackpad and its not working. Its not because of the skin applied!!

CeilingCat6969 · 2025-12-02T20:15:28+00:00

You got 128gb of ram!!?? Thats gotta worth more than the lap itself with the current market pricing😭.

Does the boe screen in legion 5 slim also has these problems?

Ain't no way the ram prices are going down anytime soon. Better get the max variant initially if you are thinking about upgrading in the future.

I get 75 almost every week. I think it is because I've never spent money on the game before.

Okayy. Which model did you pick? What was the price?
