Finally got around to installing #HomeAssistant tonight on the #RaspberryPi3BPlus @Ideajuice gifted me, along with a 3D printer, what feels like many moons ago. We likely have to retire the 3D printer, but at least I’ll have the rpi as my remaining connection. I still hate that he’s gone.

Really productive couple of days - I fixed two more Raspberry Pi 3B Plus boards, so they'll find new happy owners instead of turning into e-waste.

Somehow both of them had the same issues - blown PMICs and torn mosfets on the bottom part, as well as corresponding traces.

So I restored the traces and covered them with the solder mask. Had to get a UV light for that, but why not - new toy 😃

I think I might try to setup some nas on spare rpi3. Does anyone have any experience to share or good open source project to look at?

I’ve been asking around but failed to get anywhere so far - does anyone have a board view file for the Raspberry Pi 3B+? Have a bunch of those laying around than need a #repair - would be much easier if I’d have a reference 🙌🏻
