  • Verify that the USB Type-C connector is securely inserted into your Raspberry Pi/Orange Pi.
  • Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it has power.
• Unstable power or frequent reboots:
  • Ensure the power supply is connected directly to the wall outlet and not through a faulty power strip or extension cord.
  • Confirm that your Raspberry Pi/Orange Pi is not drawing more current than the power supply can provide (5.25V 4A).
  • Check for any physical damage to the power supply cable or connectors.
• Power supply feels hot:
  • It is normal for power supplies to generate some heat during operation. However, if it feels excessively hot to the touch, disconnect it immediately.
