PaperS3

Hi

I just purchased a PaperS3 to tinker with, I intend to use as a Homelab server monitor.
Anyways, when I unboxed, turned on, its started, the timer ticked, showing the battery charge, found wifi networks, etc.

I downloaded the M5Burner app, it detected the device as COM4. Downloaded and installed the UIFlow2.0 PaperS3 app, but after start its just turns off. I tried it also with PaperS3 Factory Test, the same. Tried to erase the firmware and upload after it, still...

The device was never connected to a power brick, just the computer (tried to flash on windows and mac). And it turns off even if I keep it on plugged in.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@paydogs Never mind, i charged for a long time and it looks like its resolved the issue. However I try to flash it again with something and check if it screws something again.

Hello @paydogs

I was just about to suggest that from your video it looks like the battery might be flat.

Glad you figured it out.

Thanks

@felmue it was just curious that the moment I started to flash, made it flat...
What is the proper voltage for it?

Hello @paydogs

my M5PaperS3 running the factory test shows about 4.19 V when fully charged and still on USB-C. When I remove external power it drops to about 4.12 V.

Thanks
