Excellent question! (yeah, strictly speaking off-topic for the issue raised, but on-topic for the relevancy of TERES-I as Debian laptop (not just OSHW-compliant paperweight) I have not yet contacted Olimex about my issue, but intended to do so. My experience, for both laptops - using same power supply but happening several months apart - was that the area around the power plug got so hot that the surface plastic underneath melted, and then the system turned off: There was a strong smell of melted plastic afterwards. Did you experience the exact same, or something else that might have a different cause? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
