Well, today was virtually flawless running. I still feel the case was part of the issue. The folks that sold it seem to want me to troubleshoot it. I think they should troubleshoot it. I pointed out some issues. I think they should set one up for themselves, assuming they still have stock.
Today, I have run update and full-upgrade without any errors. I think that is a first. I have not gone back to the usb/m.2. It will be at least another day before I'm willing to risk it. It could just result in frustration for a day
I did run across a thing not previously reported. While looking at the pi pwr jack with a Mathis stereo microscope I saw a sliver of metal about the width of a hair. it was "hinging" on the end of the shield. It was attached. I was obviously a burr from when the shield jacket was cut. I knocked it off with a pick. I cannot say it was a cause, just an event.
To answer the diag question, yes I can get pretty good speed out of my SD but fail mildly on the random test. The usb-ssd is smoking hotter on all parameters. These adapters (I've tried two while exchanging m.2 between them) are just $10-$15 items. I don't know if anyone has done much extensive testing on them. I have the new bottom PCIe bd to SSD ( i guess it is still called a hat?, an ass hat?) on backorder. I'm looking forward to it. I will try to play more tomorrow. See if I can get a fail.
All my wired keyboards are to tightly woven into wire looms with other stuff I'd rather order one. I might. I can get a wired mouse. I liked the wireless as I felt tying a lot to such a light bd seemed problematic. I also have not played with remote access. I reviewed one post that said it has the advantage in that the host does not lock-up when the board does.
I have a sense hat I wanted to play with. In addition I wanted to breadboard some stuff. The projects are certainly all pretty simple electrically but the code methods and calls are new to me. Last I knew, I can't get Scratch 3 to load GPIO? I have difficulty is determining when bugs are fixed. Perhaps somebody could explain how to research this. I see where it appears people are offering to work on the problem and they then reference other jobs assigned? Is there a central place where "we fixed this" is posted? Pretty hard to follow for a new guy. Anyway, if I blow the thing up again I'll be sure to ask for help. Lots to do. Lots to learn. Glad it's a hobby.
Thanks for the exchange!
