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. ## PINE64 August Update: Star64, PinePhone Pro, Pinecil V2, and PineTime DevFeed: [PINE64 August Update: Star64, PinePhone Pro, Pinecil V2, and PineTime]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2022-08-28T00:00:00Z Content type: news Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pinephone-Pro](), [Hardware](), [Software](), [Linux](), [Fedora]() Tags: [blog-post](), [community-update](), [hardware](), [pine64](), [pinebuds](), [pinephone](), [pinephone-pro](), [pinepower](), [pinetime](), [releases](), [risc-v](), [software](), [soquartz](), [update]() ### AI overview PINE64's August community update covers the Star64 prototype and I/O layout, PinePhone Pro hardware and software changes, Pinecil V2 availability and authentication, PineTime companion apps, and other community and software updates. ### Source excerpt This month we take a close look at the Star64, check out PineBuds (Pro) progress and discuss the Pinecil V2.
