regarding Raspberry Pi 5 PSU
December 29, 2023, 08:41
I bought a Raspberry pi 5, sadly it didn't arrive with an adpater, so I used a mobile charger's adapter for its power and connected it with keyboard, mouse, and a monitor but when I try to boot the raspberry, it turns on for few seconds before shutting down imeditatly. I think it the issue with PS so I bought a charger with 5V and 6A would there be any issues if I use that? because in the website the mentioned that it needs 5v and 5A power. moreover because of my location, there are no official raspberry pi 5 adapters
Yep it's enough
As long as its amp and volt rating is the same or above it's good
And make sure the cable can actually give power good
That PSU could be a dud. Raspberry Pi 5 uses PD to communicate with the power supply if it can deliver the amperage and voltage. This is a huge difference between Raspberry Pi 5 and previous models.

<@543441383403552768> what he mentioned is correct, I hope you don't consider mine as I haven't known the above as much as I thought about the RPi5.
however so far the raspberry pi works fine
