      My pi 3 b+ after month it died,and it stopped booting up red light no green.
      Burn image on 3 sd-cards more then 10 times everyway possible way stillno boot still.

      Pulled out my thermal camera and bench power equipments and diagnosed the raspberry pi 3 b+
      Setted 5v 0.3 amps. On bench psu and connected it to pi.
      Strait away I can se the voltage drop and amps spiked.
      For the sake of all I settled 0.3 amps so that I don't end up frying the chip ic.

      I can se on thermal image the ic is getting hot if I turned up the amps it would have fried up.

        @kok00 isn't it really a lot of effort for a cheap computer? If it was only a month old, why didn't you just get it replaced under warranty?
