integrated on the board\u2019s opposite side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So technically, you must perform test points (a difficult procedure) to locate the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Voltmeter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">voltage meter<\/a> to measure the output of GPIO pin 1 (3.3V) and GPIO pin 2

correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your device could have a bad microSD card if it fails to start while the GPIO pins one and two output the proper voltage level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, the poly fuse

will eventually brick your Raspberry Pi device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try solving that issue by putting the Pi idle for a full day, allowing it to self-repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, surrounding it in cold temperatures may also help influence and boost the recovery time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"defective-pmic\">Defective PMIC<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If your Pi dies due to a broken PMIC, you will find it extremely difficult and tedious to recover the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, a zero voltage reading on pin one (3.3V) results in a defective PMIC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the PMIC with a different one could solve that problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this potential solution is problematic because it needs certain register values to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In that case, you must collect those unknown values from an operational Pi, a tedious task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider purchasing a replacement Pi board instead, a better
