    RPi Zero W using regular RPi1/2/3/4 hats?

    It's a computer. Or is it?

    Anyway, I got an AudioInjector "sound card" for the regular RPi at a fire sale, and I think I got burned. I tried it on my RPi Zero W and it wouldn't boot with it installed. Seems to bootloop and my serial adapter goes nuts with the hat as the pins are way too thin to be standard IDC connector pins.

    Should these hats work on a Zero W? Would there need to be any mods to get it to work? Too bad it's not the version specifically for the Zero but wondering what the differences could be...

      All I know about the single bord computers is from the YouTube videos on them . Any way I thought audio and everything else was on the board.

              RPi Zero's do not have audio on board
              Regular RPis have awful audio on board.
              People made good audio boards for the regular RPi and plugs onto the GPIO pins.
              Now I wonder if those boards should work on the Zero?

                  It would be my guess that if the audio signal was assigned by the software to the right gpio pins it would work. But it's not my area of expertise. I am sure there are forums that have a Ardino/sbc sec. Sbcs don't seem to be of a major interest to the members hear.

                  PS , this guy , along with others have videos devoted to the pi ,and other sbc s .

                      iMAc A1418 Board 820-00034 some kind of bootloop
                      by rascao
                      Hi,

                      I have a iMac A1418 board 820-00034, the problem is when the board is cold i can get to the mac os log in for like 1 min and then start the bootloop, but is a fast bootloop sometimes i can just see the apple logo for 1 sec and keeps doing it until i un plug the power, if i try to turn on again the bootloop continues, if i let the board un plug for 15 or 20 min i can turn on again and log in on Mac os but the bootloop start again under 1 min.

                      I try to get to the recovery and i can, when try to install a new mac os it starts loading the usb and then start the bootloop,...

                      Where to find a very small fpc connector 0.3mm between 2 pins ?
                      by corrize
                      Hello, I search this connector (oxydated).
                      It's a fpc zif low profile connector. It come from camera sensor, it is very small : 0.3mm between 2 pins.
                      I ordered 2 from Aliexpress called « 0.3mm pitch » but one was 0.5mm between 2 pins and the other 0.6mm. In fact « 0.3mm pitch » seams to be the pad width and not the distance between 2 pins.
                      I can't find it. The other websites like mouser dont show the datasheet, and I can't check if it is 0.3mm between 2 pins ?

                      Do you know how to find this connector please ? What is the exact name for find it ?

                      MSI Pro Z790-P Wifi 1missing CPU pins
                      by DominanceINC
                      Hello,

                      I am a new forum member. I found a broken MSI motherboard with lot of problems. The other problems need schematic. Because, the missing parts what were breaking down with screwdriver and pliers at a standoff.
                      So, its actual problem is a missing Vcore and Gnd pins in the CPU socket. My question is that, can it be used safely without these two pins? Only for testing at first, while the other problems will be solved. I would wish repair them later.

                      The other spots are thermal phaste, because, the under educated installer of the CPU did wipe the contacts of the...

                      Yet another Samsung bootloop - QE50Q60T
                      by efidan
                      Hello,

                      I've ended up with a Samsung QE50Q60T with the classic bootloop problem. I've read plenty tape solutions on these forums but never seen one that made me progress to an image. Perhaps the model number makes a difference.

                      I've tried the usual disconnect LVDS and disconnect left/right methods and TV boots with no image on both. What amazed me though, if I tape the pin that sends 7V VCOM voltage then the TV starts up normal but due to missing VCOM voltage the image is whitewashed.

                      I've disconnected left/right VCOM from each other with another sticky tape...
