@@hex3n No, it's a normal dc psu. It worked for a week. Now it works with ATX but not with pico-atx. So bit a shame I need to use a 600W psu that doesn't fit in the case.
2:26 I think that heatsink backing plate is installed upside down. The 3M sticky tape is supposed to fasten the plate to the motherboard to hold it in place to facilitate removal and re-installation of the heatsink. As a test, completely remove the heatsink and backing plate and then try to power on the board without it.
Hi George. It hurts a lot. I had so much planned to do with this. Make lots of video's, and having an upgraded NAS. Maybe still using it as desktop while using as NAS. There's so much I haven't tested yet since I thought I'd have time for that later on. Like the LPDDR5 compared to LPDDR4 on others. But I'm back on the Rock5B. I got other things I can do. But all my focus was on this for now. Greetings.
I'm quite sure You damaged SoC installing this heatsink. Bottom plate have some spacers to not touch the board, You probably installed it up to down, but that was not the main issue. Screws should be tightened GENTLY in diagonal order, You did not do that. Then at the end You decided TO SHAKE whole thing holding by radiator probably destroying some pads under SoC. When it heats up - it died. Before heatsink installation it worked without problems for several days? :( :( :(
you're supposed to peel off the 3M double-sided tape film and that side sticks to the motherboard bottom. You installed it upside down. Had you installed it correctly, the 4 nuts of the plate act as standoffs creating like a 1-2mm space between it and the board. It likely shorted out.
I indeed put the backplate backwards. But that's not what created the problem. It works with ATX PSU so the issue is in the barrel jack power circuit. I noticed I put the backplate on wrong, checked the board and there's no damage and nothing there that can be damaged.
I don't have a rockpi4 anymore but would expect the software to be good. What exactly doesn't work? One issue was they produced way too many different rockpi4. So hard to support them all.
@@NicoDsSBCs It’s end of life so I guess I can’t complain too much. Purchased Radxa’s RockPi 4c NAS bundle. It includes the SATA hat and case. Found that the support for the fan/display never gets updated. So it would restrict me from using anything beyond Bullseye. Which is an issue in itself. I’ve tried almost every option available for bullseye. Almost every time I go to install ZFS. There’s an issue. Either the headers don’t install or the ZFS module does not get properly build. Too many caveats. I recently bought a Raspberry Pi 4. Zero issues installing bookworm and ZFS.
Don’t get me wrong. I am sure if I jumped into their forums. I would probably get some direction. But at the end of the day. When I buy a product I want it to work. It’s DIY yes but one has but so much time to be troubleshooting and such.
@@joseroman6484 It indeed is DIY. I'm always able to make my stuff work, but have to put lot of time into it. In Linux a lot is build for one version what makes it brake in later versions. I think the info you need is to be found on radxa forum. These days armbian focuses on the more modern boards and had to drop support for a lot older ones since there are just too many devices on the market. And nobody is paying for supporting these devices. RK3588 is what is hot these days. But as with all arm devices it is never problem free. It's all a work in progress. For me that's what attracts me, but I understand many people want trouble free easy installation. Greetings.

It works with ATX PSU so my guess is the 12V barrel jack circuit broke down.
Did you use an AC adapter instead of a 12V DC adapter? I did this the other day with a different mobo and had the same results lol.

That's a shame. It seems like a really cool board. DDR5 and ITX form factor is awesome. I'll hold off on buying one until you get the bugs ironed out.
Bummer! I've been there before. It is frustrating and gut-wrenching. I hope RockPi can help out with a replacement. Good luck!

The SBC, like the software for the RK3588, so far own the line, still very much broken and incomplete. A fitting metaphor.

good call! really looks like this

I have two Rock Pi 4. On paper the specs are good. What you’ll come to find out. Is that the software support sucks.

What a shame, I'm sorry. Could it be the DC jack adapter?
I tried an atx PSU after filming the video and it didn't work. So must be something else.
@@NicoDsSBCs Yeah but the motherboard could have been killed by a spike or something...
It's an SBC so I should called it board, not motherboard, but you know what I mean ;-D
