My SATA hat has stopped working after about a week of use.
The Pi won’t boot ( not even fan spin up ) with the hat attached.
It’s making a strange buzzing noise and the lights flicker on/off.
I assume my board is faulty? Anyone else had similar?
Video of the issue. Turn the sound up quite loud to hear the noise it’s making.
Testing
- Different power supply - no power on
- Removed the drives from the hat - no power on
- Remove the hat - powers on and boots
- Remove ribbon cable with hat still attached - no power on
- Power hat with 12vdc not connected to a Pi - buzzing and lights flashing
State it was in when it stopped working
- Raspbian with MediaVault installed
- 4x SSDs, just some old drives for testing
- I had anacron logs come through about 45mins before it went down and started buzzing, but the system is mostly idle as I had not purchased the new drives for it.
The source of the sound appears to be a component labeled with ALTP 728?
I could be reading it wrong, but I’m not seeing any docs for it.
