Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone: Choosing between tiny DIY computer kits
wraith808:
I should hopefully have my CHIP with HDMI soon. I'll let you know how that is. I was disappointed with the Onion- mostly because I couldn't get it to turn on because of their quality problems with the power switch. Hopefully this will be better.

presumably the switch is one of those damn SMD jobbies - could you perchance just scrape it off and short the traces?

It was actually a piece of plastic that jutted out from between the sandwiched part, so I can't even get in there to see. Most people used a pin to move the position, but for some reason that wouldn't work for me.
Target:
of course, where else would you mount a switch!
I know you've had it for a while, but wouldn't this be a 'warranty' claim?

It is. But I have to pay postage from China, and their shipping options suck. So at that point, I decided to just write it off. Too much trouble for what it's worth. I might revisit it if the CHIP doesn't work out well.
