Has anyone had issues with particular cords causing coldcard to read bricked after powering up?

This happened to me a couple months ago and It seemed to be fixed with a different cord I had laying around… This time that is not working.

5k sats for some advice plz

This happens to coldcards but they only replace influencers' for free.

It's happened to a number of people.

Rip. If I have to buy another one, so be it…as long as I can restore it with the seed i stamped. Makes me a little hesitant though for sure

Build a SeedSigner & uncuck yourself

Im just a construction guy 😑 … I guess I just have to go another level deeper ffs

Thanks I appreciate that!

Psssst!

That's a resistor.

The BCM 43134 chip is the larger black rectangle to it's right.

I thought this neuters that?

It most likely does, but I'm really just being pedantic.

The statement was to remove the WiFi/Bluetooth chip. (Instead of one of its resistors)

Facts, just didn't wanna go into that much detail :)

No worries.

Probably just a nasty twitch from a past in test engineering on surface mount boards.

You need to add a lighting address.

Working on it 🫡

Not sure about being bricked, do you Mean no power? Some cables are power only and do not send signal.

So a month ago, it literally showed up a red bomb with a timer ticking, then displayed bricked. I found a another cord and the cold card worked fine… Now when I plug in that cord, you can see it flash verify, and then go red instead of green and says on the screen bricked. Are you saying that I need to search for specifically a data cable and not some charging cable?

No, just that some cables are power only

Ok thanks I
