Posted this over on the timurs kernel Reddit but he wanted to get all defensive about it and deleted it cause his kernel is perfection in his own opinion. So I'm copying it and pasting it here. Just want any info on it I can get.
When I first setup my nexus I originally used my cigarette lighter worked fine then I converted to a dcdc converter and set it up for 5v when I hooked the nexus up there was a pop and a burning smell but every thing worked fine. Other than I noticed a horrible battery drain issue. After a few months I discovered anything I plugged in was draining the battery even if the tablet was off. The led on the phone charger would even light up even if it wasn't plugged into the wall. Got another nexus and everything worked flawless for months with the same DCDC and timurs kernel. Plugged it in took it out multiple times with no problem. Yesterday I decided I wanted to give marshmallow a test. It worked fine to other than it wouldn't charge due to the OTG cable and the way the stock kernel works so i flashed Element Kernel and enabled OTG charging and fast charge. It came on it charged and everything except music was playing through the tablet and not the DAC so I unplugged it and plugg ed it back in. It wouldn't charge..... Then I realized the charger had welded itself into the port and wouldn't come out. Finally got it out and tried it again. This time the tablet went black and won't do anything the port is melted on the tablet and the cord has melted plastic in the end. Is it a DCDC converter issue? Or a kernel issue? Maybe fast charge related? Just asking cause of the problem I had at the very beginning. Do you think the LCD might have survived? If so I was going to buy another nexus with a bad screen for like $25. Any input would be greatly appreciated just too keep it from happening again. Thanks in advance.
