ESP32-S3 hardware issue

Post by ron_dayney »

I installed a Feather ESP32-S3 on the Adafruit IO system and it locked up often. It started out locking up every 12 hrs. Over the last several weeks it has progressively gotten worse, and now locks up every 2 hrs. (approx.). I've been working with Brent on the problem. (because at first I thought it was a software issue.) By installing a new ESP32-S3 and seeing no issues at all with it, I have determined it is a bad board. I am requesting a warranty replacement or credit for this board. I bought the board under invoice 2860438. Here is a link to the support ticket I opened with Brent over at the IO department. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Wi ... 1232034992

From the Github issue thread:
I purchased it a few months back.
It sounds like it was working OK for months? The behavior was not with the board new out of bag. Is there any correlation to anything for when the board went from working to exhibiting the disconnect behavior?
