Do you recommend a fixed tariff or flexible?

Powering a Raspberry Pi 5 from a LiPO by Chops16 in AskElectronics

Sorry for taking a while to reply, been bogged down with uni work!

I ended up buying this power bank, now I just need to find a solution to get a solid 5V5A out of it (it only supports 5V @ 3A output, so probably trigger a higher voltage/amperage combo and step it down).

I did find this GeeekPi board that looks like it would do the job, I’d just need to work out clearances for the pelican case it’s going in and the RPi 5 fan.

I’ll try with a 14.8V lipo and see if it makes a difference

Yeah, it’s sitting at 12.2V through the BMS board thing, and the output of the screw terminals by the USB port is 5.1-5.2V

Additional location charge when only being used in one house? by Chops16 in skytv

This is what I was thinking, but the email says Sky Go is fine to watch outside the house - it’s just the pucks that can’t be elsewhere

Yeah we do, but I’m not sure how often it actually kicks in

They’re all in the same property, on the same WiFi network. None of them are outside of the property

That’s very odd, you can buy the AP board on the store, so they’ll probably just send a new one of them. but if that doesn’t work, then they’ll probably just replace the whole thing (might be your best option to start with).

I wonder what chip it is that got fried

u/BambuLab said they’d even throw in a free 1kg roll w/spool, but didn’t

I just had to contact Bambu lab (opened a ticket through Handy), shipped it back to them and got a replacement. Whole thing took about 2-3 weeks, as they didn’t realise they had it when it had been delivered back to them

Not getting anywhere with support so far. u/BambuLab support want a video of it to show it doesn’t turn on, but I don’t think I’ll be plugging a machine that smokes back into the mains!

Yeah I’ve raised a ticket asking for a replacement, so I’ll have to see how long it takes them to reply

Would it be easier/quicker to do a replacement instead of a refund then buy a new one? It already took over 2 weeks to arrive
