That sucks, I had one die after a year or more of use. I don't remeber where I bought it thoough? It wasn't an official Pi foundation supply. I'd save that power cord, might come in handy at some point.

Mine just totally stopped working, 0V out. I opened it up but there were no user serviceable parts inside.
Nothing obviously blown anyway. I was just looking to see if it might be an easy fix like a blown fuse or something.

Bought this 6 port usb charger almost 2 years ago ,used it a bit here and there ,but to-day I finally booted 6 different pi's at the same time ,all running something

i have a video but it wont upload ,to big maybe
#1, Pi3A+ on a 5" Adafruit touch lcd.
#2, Pi3B+ running on the Officaial Pi 7"lcd
#3, Pi3A+with a pimoroni Display-O-Tron with a basic example code running .
#4 PiZero W,with 1 Pimoron pHAT speaker,1 pimoroni Drum Hat and 1 Pimoroni Piano Hat on a Pimoroni PHat Stack board
#5 Pi Zero , With a pimoroni Phat Beat Radio pHAT
#6 PiZero , with a Pimoroni pHAT DAC ,as a portable mp3 player

Cool.
Keep an eye out for any undervolt warnings. Some "chargers" don't regulate their output voltage very well. I'm thinking thats more of a real power supply though, just labeled as a charger because more often than not, thats what it will get "used" for. That would be a nice power supply for a PI cluster etc.

I was just tinkering with my portable weather clock. Shorting my message a bit so it cycles through the radings a bit quicker. I took out a bunch of the and, with, - etc and just left spaces between the readings. I want to increase the scroling speed but I know thats just going to make it hard for some in my group to read it.
I'll leave it at the shorter messages for now.

I also need to tweak my code on my indoor weather clock. I need to set my LED shim temperature display up a bit better. Right now it goes from 1c at the bottom to 28c at the top. That works well for my outdoor one not so much for the indoor one. At 29c it switches ranges and that just confuses my wife.
I'm thinking something like starting at 13c at the bottom. That would put 27c about in the middle and give me lots of headroom so it doesn't change scales.
The math / equation is the tricky bit as my LED shim is reversed. LED 0 is at the top and LED 27 is at the bottom. It would be the other way if possible but its not really an easy thing to flip it. Not where I have and want it mounted. Going to take a break before I have at it. neck and shoulders are getting sore from tinkering with my portable.

Normally the LED shim gets plugged in on top of the GPIO.
With the Pi's HDMI etc jacks facing you the led shim would be horizontal across the back side.
LED number zero on the left and LED 27 on the right
0,1,2,3......26,27
Mine is mounted vertically to one side with LED 0 at the top and 27 at the bottom
0
1
2
ect
26
27
Temperatures are displayed the other way though.
+28c
+27c
+26c
etc
+2c
+1c.
It makes the math to put the current temp marker on it tricky to say the least.
