Hi,

I "think/know" that I just "bricked" my H4 by connecting it to a Apple fast charger - using a C type to C type cable.
I tried to replace the chip but manged to damage the PCB in the process, hence the new one.

Is this a known feature for older H4 and do the newer versions suffer the same issue?
It would be a shame to find out the hard way - again!

Cheers John

I smoked my H4 by using a fast charger also. It will still operate
hooked up to an external battery source via USB.

The regulator chip "burnt" out and I damaged the PCB in an attempt to replace it -hence the toasted H4!

There is a warning about max charge rate but there's no mention of not using a fast charge - presumably most nano users are aware of this danger?
