12V instead of 5V

NachoV · February 18, 2021, 05:01:03 PM

Hello

Hypothetically, if grabbed the wrong power adapter and applied 12V instead of 5V, just how bad is that? If after mistake not detected burn marks, is there any chance the chip is working?
Thanks...

How long was it applied? If it was for more than a couple of seconds, some hardware damage is expected. The main chip is probably operational but parts of the powering circuit would need to be replaced.

Refer to the schematic and follow the path of power - starting from the power jack and moving towards the regulators.

about 10-15 seconds.I will try to check consistently, but judging by your answer, problems are inevitable

Do you have RT5350F-OLinuXino-EVB?

Yes, RT5350F-OLinuXino

When I did this exact same thing, it damaged the voltage regulator. After replacing it the board worked as before.

checked already - the same thing, the voltage regulator does not work

Thanks

So you identified the faulty component? Let us know if it works when you replace it.
