Official POE hat shorts on 3B+ HDMI port

Post by warhau »

The official POE+ hat being sold here evidently has spacers that are too short. I did not learn this was a problem until my 3B+ sparked and fried after installing a the hat. :(

Not sure who will see this but Adafruit really needs to consider warning people to replace the stock spacers if they intend to use the official hat on a 3B+.

Now I have a fried 3B+ that I may never get replaced.
