Raspberri pi 3b+ Only gets power briefly

Wed Jan 25, 2023 6:40 pm

When i plug my raspberry pi 3b+ in. The power led flashes briefly and then nothing. I have tried different cables and power bricks. I also tried powering it trough the gpio pins, but same issue.
Is there any change it would work still or is it completely dead?

what power supply are you using?
- the official one? or a cell-phone charger?
i had a Trash-80 model 1 (circa 1980). upgrading from 4k to 16k of RAM, i thought "i'll never use this much RAM".
Now i have a computer with a million times that much memory. And i keep running out of it.
Not the computer....ME.

There is no official charger for an RPi board: it has no components that can be charged.

There is a section in this prominent forum post specifically about the power circuitry of your model of RPi. viewtopic.php?t=58151

Sorry I meant official power brick.
I think the 3v3 might be broken.
Can it be fixed?

I can only refer you to information - I can't force you to read it.

In the document I linked previously it says:
"Unfortunately without 3V3, your PI is broken, and is not user repairable."
