## AI overview

Pine64 disclosed that some current Desktop PinePower V2 units may show 0V on their USB-C ports even though they output the correct voltage. The issue cannot be fixed by users because the MCU must be flashed at the factory; corrected batches are planned, but their production timing is unknown.

## Source excerpt

Hey everyone, we'd like to make a public disclosure to the community about a product currently selling on the PineStore website (pine64.com). The current Desktop PinePower V2 batch has an issue where in some situations the USB-C ports will report "0V" when there is obviously something attached. In reality it is actually outputting the correct voltage. This has been fixed for future batches, but the current batch still has stock available. There is no fix available for affected Desktop PinePower V2 batches as the MCU can only be flashed at the factory. We have no ETA when the fixed batch will start production as this depends on the rest of the buggered batch being sold. We'll let you all know when the fixed ones hit the store. And please don't open your PinePower devices as they're high voltage power supplies, which can lead to serious risks.
