Under voltage detected

[Fefo81]

Hi guys,
It’s a few weeks I noticed a message when I turn on the recalbox.
The message said: under voltage detected (on the top left of the screen). On the same time, there is also an icon of a thunderbolt (on the top right of the screen).
Is it an issue with the power supply?

Cheers

@Fefo81 Most likely yes !

Are you using a Nespi case with pi3 ? (it's a known issue with it)
Anyway if not, it's probably your power supply indeed.

@DacK Thanks for your reply. My case is the flirc. So it’s a power supply issue. I suppose I need to replace it, right?

The power supply to use depends of the rpi used. It seems flirc have cases for rpi2/3/4. Which rpi are you using?

You need to check if it's an official power supply. Having an official power supply should not display that thunderbolt.

It’s not an official. I bought one with switch integrated.

@Fefo81 The power supply does not necessarily have to be the official one, but needs to be 5V3A (the problem is the fake ones, which claim to be 5V3A, but they are not, so the official ones are recommended) (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/warning-icons.md)

Your power supply is out ! !
Change it, choose a brand, a good 2,4A do the job
