Pi Power Question
-
Hi guys i wanted to just ask is it possible to power a Pi from a LED TV because while cleaning my place i noticed on the side of the TV there is a USB port and even though in the manual it mentions for jpeg, MP3 and MP4 files can be read on it i was wondering if power can always be drawn from my TV to my Pi just so from there i could just mount it behind my television instead.

possible, yes... but not advisable because it doesnt seem t give a reliable amprage

ok thanks

@ecks A usb port cannot supply 2.5A at 5V so it will not work.
