Hello all,
I'm running Jessie on a RasPi 2, I've got a 2A adaptor, that shipped with the Pi, plugged in directly in the wall contact and I've only got a 1TB WD Elements Portable HDD connected to the Pi. I edited the config.txt file to increase the power for the USB ports and that works; it recognises the harddrive.
However I regularly get a lightning symbol in the upper right screen of my television. Normally this happens when Kodi starts, when the HD is activated or at random during video playback. Also sometimes (like a few times a week) the HD stops working. In these cases there is power because one of the lights is on but the HDD isn't spinning and the Pi doesn't recognise it anymore.
Does anyone have some tips?
