Customer:

I have an Inkplate 6 that constantly restarts. I think there was an issue where the reset capacitor wasn’t rated high enough. Can this be fixed?

Soldered Support:

This can be solved by soldering an additional 2.2 microFaradt capacitor in parallel to the existing reset capacitor. The total value of that parallel connection will then be 4.4 microFaradt.

Soldered Support:

The original capacitor is 2.2 microFaradt. When you solder the additional 2.2 microFaradt capacitor in parallel, the total value becomes 4.4 microFaradt.
