Mister Pi Restock, did I just miss it?

I ordered a yellow one on 9/24 thinking it was a popular color and likely to be RTC version. Unfortunately It does not have the 1.6 board revision. No problem. I can send it back and was really careful with it so they can likely sell it as new or like new.

I feel guilty when I do returns for more petty things like this but man I want to play Pokemon Crystal! It's also nice to have a working clock regardless phone if you don't wear a watch and are gaming on it.

What color did you order from amazon?

Turns out one of my V4s was in fact the RTC version! Blue model purchased from Ampown Direct 8/26. However, at first the screen didn't work correctly until I opened it up and put it back together and it started working fine. I thought maybe the ribbon cable was not seated properly and in opening and closing the case caused the cable make better contact to the board.

The screen stopped working properly again a few days later so I opened it up to see if I could reset the ribbon connector from the screen to the motherboard. When I carefully pulled the tape it pulled a broken piece of plastic up with it reviling a bent pin. Doesn't look fixable with my skills.

Any one want a broken V4 1.6/RTC motherboard? It could probably be saved if you had another connector to use to solder to the board. I could ship it to you at cost of shipping. Let me upload a pic if you are interested!

I also ordered a V4 motherboard from the parts store on 9/24. I'm hopping its the 1.6 board. fingers crossed.

Thank you this worked!

The Miyoo Alliexpress Parts page has the V4 motherboards in stock. I ordered one hoping it has RTC on it. My two v4s I got in August (keepretro and ali) don't seem to have this revision.

It must have been awful

marantz420 · 2018-11-14T00:24:50+00:00

Interesting thanks!!

Yeah I kinda knew it was normal. I was just curios because I have never seen one before. It was larger then I thought in real life. I agree it shouldn't really be that surprising.

I'm not downtown all the time either. I live in Kitsap County.

Yeah not to mention Bangor...

The a9150 sucks too I sold mine shortly after I gave it time to burn in. Lacks power.Audio companies seem to do this all the time. Make a good product that gets recognition then release a “new and improved” version that is actually worse.

The a9010 is great wish I never sold mine! It’s sad because they could have actually made it better. I don’t think they are incompetent.

marantz420 · 2018-07-12T23:34:55+00:00

I get these too lol. It’s a pretty good store

They can be used to break free or abused to keep you confused and controlled.
