Chinese made raspberry pi not working... Going to destroy it. But how?

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hello,

I have had my Chinese made raspberry pi since early July and it has been malfunctioning since August, first, it shuts down then it displays all the lights but flickers the power light. I have tried multiple power cables and power supply's but nuthin'. So, raspberry pi that is made in china, you die now.

 

I am wondering how to destroy it. The best answer will push me to destroy it on NYE.


I am thinking of strapping it to a few Arial fireworks and sending it up to blow up but... its up to you guys

    If you bought it in July then it's probably still under warranty. Why not have it replaced and save £35 quid ...?
