on the link I provided above... I've updated my test....to a "worst possible combination" without using a powered hub...

LTolledo

power the fan separately from the RPi.... to test/confirm if its Good or No Good.

LTolledo

2.5" HDDs require only 5v for power same with SSDs 3.5" HDDs require 5v and 12v (its big and not really good looking on a small NAS, unless the whole setup is in an enclosure) for simple small/compact NAS setup.... 2.5" drives are preferred... just 3 cables needed (well... 2 if WiFi c...

LTolledo

what wire are you using to supply power to the 5v and Gnd pins?

if...DuPont jumpers..... then that's the problem...
use at least AWG20 wire

LTolledo

its
1. plug
2. power ON
3. configure
4. play
.
.
n. power off

after that if not unplugged
a. power ON
b. play

dont forget that...

if you plug/unplug while power on.... you're asking for trouble...

LTolledo

for line break counting system.... the "items" needs to be "pre-processed" to line up in single file before going to the "sensor(s)"

if that cannot be implemented properly.... then..... well.... most of us know the outcome already...

LTolledo

as RPi3B+ has only USB2.0 I prefer to use HDDs instead (cheaper and has more capacity)... so on the first image the one installed there is a 4TB Seagate Barracuda 2.5" HDD connected via Eluteng Blue SATA to USB3.0 adapter... even though its RPi2Bv1.2 its able to serve the same 5.1GB movie file ...

LTolledo

this is probably going to extremes...

even though its just a "single HAT"

LTolledo

and power supply also...

or would you prefer building something like this?

LTolledo

how about just getting a new RPi3B+ instead

it will save you the trouble/anxiety/despair trying your "stragedy" to replace/repair the broken LAN jack.....

meanwhile... if the current RPi3B+ is still functional.... you may be able to use it with its on-board WiFi

LTolledo

the two images may give you a hint...

yes... some of us do love doing this "....guess my setup..." game....

most likely (my wild guess) is that the IP address of the device changed....

this is what I use on this RPi4B-4GB desktop

its always running.... fan is silent.... (less than 20dB measured 200mm from fan)

Not sure if it's relevant to this seemingly power-related issue, but I've had this similar issue in the past: Duplicate the Pi's SD card to a USB drive, without changing the UUIDs. Unplug the USB drive. Plug in the USB drive. The Pi will immediately unmount the SD card's boot partition, and then au...

LTolledo

am sorry but this is the best I can do under the circumstances. this is the setup with the powered HDD RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base with powered HDD setup.jpg and taking it a bit further..... RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base with powered HDD and bus powered HDD setup.jpg RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base with p...

LTolledo

anything else you want us to guess?

LTolledo

well as I have mentioned before... I also did a powered HDD connection.... though it was a 3.5" HDD in powered HDD case..

same result...

but ok.. will try to do it again...showing off the setup as well...

LTolledo

this might interest you...

LTolledo

at 0.6A max.... it definitely is not enough to power even an RPiZero...

LTolledo

and now for the "kicker"... as I was feeling a bit lucky..... :mrgreen: RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base with SeagateHDD and SunbowSSD setup.jpg yes as anyone can clearly see.... Kingston SSD boot drive, with powerhog Seagate HDD.... with SunbowSSD on USB2.0 port. RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base wi...

LTolledo

and now for the "main event" plugging in a bus powered Seagate (aka powerhog) HDD in Orico Case to the base setup RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base with SeagateHDD setup.jpg the setup remained stable, the boot drive did not disconnect... RPi4B-4G SSD boot test base with SeagateHDD.jpg rebooted t...

Ok so I've setup my base rig as I've written above:

its a newly setup /fully updated base RPiOS32... nothing else

[minor edit] @LTolledo, I've reviewed your posts. You have not been able to recreate my disconnection problem. You've had no trouble connecting scads of hard drives to a system NOT MSD booting. Am I understanding correctly that you had previously had issues plugging hard drives on Pi4 systems WITH ...

LTolledo

am interested to see that RPiZero with "microHDMI" as claimed by the OP....

is this a new variety?
