My Pironman 5 case is behaving strangely.
After booting up, I see the green light in the lightpipe, and LEDs working on the fans, then the OLED screen displays as normal but for less than 2 seconds, then it says “POWEROFF” the fan LEDs turn off, the fans stop rotating and the lightpipe light goes off.
BUT the pi5 responds as usual to the CLI and WinSCP. It is running. I have a web server on it and this operates as normal.
I see a similar case mention with a pironman 4 and power supply issues, so I will say that I am using the official RPi5 power supply, plugged into the pironman PCB via the USBC power socket. As I have a spare official RPi5 power supply I tried that, and the result is the same.
I did a full update and next I did this:
roy @ pi5: ~/pironman$
sudo python3 install.py --no-dep
result:
pironman 2.2.9 install process starts for roy:

Whether to restart for the changes to take effect(Y/N):
Y
After reboot, it responded as above. I powered off, waited for all the lights to go out, then powered back up. Same result.

This has worked for months - it first failed a few days ago.
I also did a full RPi OS update a few days ago, and this was a major update affecting many libraries. Has that introduced an incompatibity with the pironman 5 software? The comment “ws2811_init failed with code -3 (Hardware revision is not supported)” may be significant.
