my Pi-top 4 DIY arrived last week and I put it together and used pi-topOS Bullseye. Using j2 and with the CPU at 35 degrees and not plugged in the fan is running at full speed. Any ideas?
PitopOS 3.0-9
Firmware 5.4
Hardware 9
bump, I also opened a ticket a few days ago and have seen no response.
bump, just wanted to follow up on this again
I know a deep secret here. You can open up the pi-top four and find where the fan is connected via a connector. If you unplug it and plug it into the vacant socket of the same kind that is nearby, you get full control of the fan. I’ve never looked up the programming for this, though. The 4B probably will overheat and throttle unless you do get the fan turning, because of the closed case.
Yes, that’s what I am doing for now, but would prefer to have the option to have out of box functionality work.
I hear you, but unless something blocks their bulk sales into schools, things that seem required to us do not happen. I don’t expect a hardware revision on the pi-top [4]. I think it would arrive just in time for the Pi 5, which might be a problem, so… I don’t have any inside access, I’m just guessing. Eben Upton has just announced that pis should be available in H2 of 2023, so Summer. My guess is that there’ll be some new products at that time.
I had the same issue with my pitop 4 kit. Couldn’t figure it out so I downloaded the latest Bullseye, re-flashed the SD card and it then worked.
