I have a project that is using a Teensy 4.1, the cheep 5v regulator I was using in the project let the magic smoke out for no good reason. I replaced that but now the Teensy boots and runs for about a min then quits. There is a TLV75733P power IC that is supplying the 3v3 and it gets hot then quits supplying power. Since that IC is $0.46 vs a new Teensy 4.1 ~ $40 I want to try and replace it. I have done a bit of SMD work but not tried to remove a tiny chip with a GND pad before so I’m looking for any tips. The PCB of the Teensy has header pins so I can’t really get good contact to a hot plate to preheat the board.

I installed Bookworm, Docker and Frigate (in docker) on an older i5 Dell with a Coral TPU (USB) and an old GeForce 6600 GPU, the TPU and GPU are for use with Frigate frame processing and video conversion. It was working well for months and then I upset the apple cart by adding whisper and Piper in the docker for my Home Assistant (different server) to use. After I got that all working I noticed that Debian would freeze after several hours of no user use (no one logged in either on the console or SSH). This seems to happen now even after I removed the Piper and whisper containers. Thinking it might be a suspend issue I masked all the suspend points and set the power profile to “never” but that did not help. Looking at journalctl does not show anything I can see, it seems to just stop logging at the freeze point, interestingly the ethernet jack still shows activity but no ping :(

What would be the next troubleshooting steps to find what is causing the freeze?

So I got a bunch of these Sylvania Smart+ bluetooth mesh led strips. They are using a RF SoC IC, Telink TLSR8258F1KET32. Does anyone know of a firmware like Tasmota or ESP32Home that would work for that IC?
