My Li polymer batteries just arrived. Now to wait a few more day until the kit shows up.

All orders without the AIO V2 or the antenna mounting kit have been shipped.

The original estimated shipping date for the order with the AIO V2 was set to 15th Dec. However, I am afraid we will need to delay by a few days.

JLCPCB told me that one of the components has a poor solder joint. The manufacturing process has been paused. I contacted the supplier to order the new components. If JLCPCB verifies that there are no issues with the new components, manufacturing will resume, and we will provide a precise estimated shipping date. According to the current situation, I guess the new estimated shipping date would be around 25th- 30th Dec.

I knew most of you guys bought it as a Christmas gift. If this change goes against your plan, we can cancel the order and issue a full refund. If you want to cancel your order, please get in touch with me via the contact page.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Does everyone get a shipping notice? And if so, who is the sender?

My order is set to “fulfilled” but I didn’t receive a shipping notice. (Or maybe it got lost.)

You can give me your order number. I will look into it. But I guess that happened is because the courier agent hasn’t uploaded the tracking number to our webshop.

Thank you, @vileer for the update! I am continually impressed and encouraged by your proactive and transparent communication.

Thank you very much, but I don’t want to cause you any extra work. I’ll just wait and see. If you say that they’ve all been sent out, mine will be among them. And if the numbers haven’t been uploaded to the shop, that’s probably the reason.

Thanks for the update, Vileer. More reason for me to keep procrastinating buying the CM5…

USPS suuuuuuucks :rofl:
My order is on the back of a turtle, crawling through the USA it seems ; )
Looking forward to it though! And ofc not the fault of HackerGadgets

Bruh, you aint lying. I have 3 packages that were all scheduled to be delivered LAST friday. All 3 have just said “arriving late” for almost 7 days now…

yeah man. I regularly order from China, or the US itself. And then it stil need to through a package forwarder to Panama. But most carriers use air, especially for something light like these boards. Seems its now moving through like 6 different hubs by truck or something.

‘Your package was captured by rebels in the jungle’ would be wild to read on your tracking status.

My boards have just arrived!

Order 51## on 18th October, delivered to uk today

Vileer, could you tell me what the RTC battery connector type is as the standard CM carrier board battery won’t fit?

#edited the lipo connector on battery board is JST PH2.0mm

mine arrived today in the UK, just setting it up now, my nvne drive is not showing up or does it have a power light, i’m using a 8gb cm5 with a 32gb emmc, do i need to do anything special in this config?

No Worry’s stuff happens i’ll still wait

I’m having this same issue. Samsung brand nvme, not sure which model. I know it works inside an enclosure, but I read that there’s some incompatibilities between old nvme firmwares and Linux

yeah this one is a Samsung too, I’m trying different ones now, i have a few, should i have a power light next to the m.2 slot on or does not not come on normally but does if compatible?
