Hi,
All the pictures show nice smooth edges, but my new 8GB PI 4 has rough edges (e.g. along the edge near the GPIO pins) like it's been snapped off of a bigger board and not cleaned up. Even seemed to have a few strands of fibreglass which I pulled off.
Is that normal?

Re: Should my PI 4 board have rough edges?
Quick answer - yes (there are old threads referring to this). IIRC Pi boards are built/populated/assembled/tested in blocks of (at least) 6, maybe 9 or 12 - there's an old (ancient) blog w.r.t to B+(?) production I think.jajaj wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 12:03 pmHi,

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
