Neat job

I'd attempt myself, but I don't trust my eyes now, lol

Hmm... I've never bothered with the verification pass, too time consuming.

It take less time than creating, very quick.

So now that the new BalenaEtcher contains ads and ignores privacy settings, what is a good replacement for Etcher?

The previous version, without ads

I'd just be buying another, cheap enough

In fact, get 2 spare, then chill and go watch a movie

I got 1 Pi 4 board spare, not used yet, thankfully.

No need to solder now, just 'replace board & go'.

facebook pops up alot faster now scroll seems smoother.

I'd be 'under-clocking' it then

Update on my complaint of the Bruphny case. Took out 3rd layer from bottom and cut out a section for the HDMI slots, it's very thin plastic, so was easy to do. Now the HDMI cables fit perfectly :) The power 'C' socket can be left as is, as this is slightly higher than the HDMI ones, so the strength ...

Nicely made: The instructions are very clear: The fan can be run at 3volt and is almost silent. At the highest, it runs in the high ...

Put it in an oven @ 240 degrees c for half an hour, they all slide off perfectly then, as do the chips and other components, but don't touch them.

Updated bootloader for Raspberry Pi 4 makes GPIO3 function the same as on previous models (halt if running / start if halted). A simple Normally Open pushbutton switch connected between GPIO3 and Ground is the only hardware that's required. You must also add 'dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown' to /boot/confi...

As has already been posted -

Interesting, thx.

Would I be able to then implement the below method after doing so?

I see a wake function here

It would be great if BCM 3 could be implemented in some way, yup.

Life lesson. If something "Irritates the hell out of me" get rid or it and move on. Find a solution that meets your requirements. Don't whinge. Yawn. Life lesson. What may be OK for you, may not be OK for anyone else?, so stop your trolling nonsense. Thanks for all the other decent replies guys tho...

scaramonga

I still find it hilarious that a device as clever as this, has no way of powering 'ON' without modification? Seriously?

Irritates the hell out of me.

Pibow Coupé 4 case here, with Fanshim installed.

Clocked to 2GHz on CPU / 620 on GPU.

42c Idle / 69c load (MAX)

So far so good

I have a spare NVME M2 Drive (128Gb) (5 pin from notch) from an old laptop here. Best way to connect?

Thought about this:

It's only wasteful if you use it wastefully.

I agree.

On a PC, some may argue that 64/128Gb RAM is ludicrous, and it may be?, but if one is running a host with 24 VM clients, then maybe not?

scaramonga

So, why DO people want the 4GB, when the 2GB would do the job? Why do people buy 64Gb RAM for their PC, when 16Gb is more than enough? :) Because they can ;) I got the 4Gb version also, not that I'll ever need it, but, it's there, and if your 'loaded', like myself, it really doesn't matter one way ...

Would there be any way to set a 'wake up' command, aka, a press of ones keyboard or similar? No. When it's in a halted state, it doesn't pay any attention to peripherals. Saddening. What about an WOL, or some remote possibility then? I'm getting the message here. This thing is designed to be left r...

These work reliably with all Raspberry Pi models and have an on/off switch:

You will need a Micro-USB to USB-C adapter for the Raspberry Pi 4.

Thanks, not a bad idea, not ideal, but a good fix

You turn it OFF by pulling the plug. You turn in on by inserting the plug. Sorry you seem to think this is a problem. My Pis generally run 24/7. Good for you, I'm happy :), but I'll tell you why I'm against that (in my case). I have numerous PC's/devices all plugged into a good 24 plug adaptor, loc...

scaramonga

So, no way to turn this boy on, apart from pulling the plug?

We have come a long way.

Motherboards (PC) are the same. Revisions change, so one month it could be v1.0, the next 1.1, it is what it is, and if one wishes to get on the bandwagon early, then you will have that early revision, simple really, and lets be honest, in this case, it's peanuts for a new board regardless

scaramonga

None.

Use this:

No heat sink required, and works rather well
