## Summary
Pine64 has disclosed a hardware reporting issue affecting the current stock of Desktop PinePower V2 units. While the USB-C ports correctly output voltage, they may incorrectly report a 0V reading in certain situations. The issue is tied to the MCU, which can only be flashed at the factory, meaning no software fix is available for existing units.

## Technical details of the PinePower V2 issue
- The issue involves incorrect voltage reporting on USB-C ports.
- The actual voltage output remains correct despite the 0V reading.
- The error is located in the **MCU** (Microcontroller Unit).
- A fix is not possible for current stock because the **MCU** can only be flashed during factory production.

## Why it matters
Pine64 has warned users not to open the devices due to the high voltage risks associated with the power supplies.
