Maybe you're power supply wears out. That's not an uncommon issue. If you were running near the limits even a slight degradation of the supply would cause problems.Hello,
I have a 3B that I have been using for 8 years now. Always had some issues with storage and the system locking up, but since I moved to docker images, I had almost no issues - until this week.
The issue started when I switched from a WiFi connection to Ethernet earlier this week. The HDD kept disconnecting and even though the system found the drive, I had trouble re-mounting it. The system also slowed down considerably, sometimes even locked (or not, it was hard to tell, as its headless) when attempting to re-mount it. At one point when attempting to troubleshoot, I lost connection again - went to check the board and found that none of the connected USB devices show any activity - as if the shared USB/networking bus gave in.
I have a flash drive, a CC2531 adapter and an HDD. All without an external power supply. I know, I know - but it has been working for that last 8 years. I've used the Ethernet port in conjunction before (years ago) and had no issues.
I have a working HDD/SSD, that when connected and checked with "badblocks" throws read errors all the time. DMESG lists IO errors - I'm guessing the drive disconnects after the test is started. I've disconnected Ethernet and switched back to WiFi - the IO errors are still there, but remote connectivity remains stable and the system is more responsive.
Now that I think about it, the CC2531 router is also acting up, I just hadn't really noticed since we moved recently - I reinstalled one the fixtures which has worked for a couple of days, then it stopped worked - but I haven't given it much thought since.
Is my common bus screwed? Anything else I should try?
It's also possible the SSD takes more power as time goes on due to increased wear leveling.
