The tides are starting to turn against RAK Wireless. I'm running into problems with both nodes now. 🙁

Node 1 was working just fine, but now it isn't running with the solar/battery power boards (19013). It will run with a 19012 (same thing + USB-C).

But it gets even weirder. If I power it using an IO extension board (5804) with a micro USB cable, it doesn't appear to boot unless that 19012 board is connected. There's nothing plugged into the 19012 board mind you, but just having it connected seems to be vital.

And if the 19013 boards would also make it work, I could rationalize this, but they don't.

So, like, what? Both my 19013 boards went bad at the exact same time? Seems highly unlikely!

I haven't flashed the firmware, changed any settings or anything. I just woke up and this is the state it was in.
