RaspiBoy getting very very Hot on PI Side
Posted: Sun 3 Sep 2017 20:37
Hi,
Just an observation just in case anybody else has the problem.
It was getting to the point that the steel case around the USB ports was untouchable after using a USB key to load the roms.
The front of the case was unusually hot and it was beginning to smell hot.
Basically I think the Raspberry PI was shorting out on the back of the Monitor, which could very easily supplied 5v to the 3.3v lines.
I have put a piece of Tape over the edge of the monitor and all is now working great, apart from the Hiss on my previous post.
Images attached of what I have done.
Thanks
Mike
