Attached is my current system. According to the Modular Planner the total power capacity is 800mA and I'm currently (pun unintended) using 513.7mA. There is this warning "Your rack contains modules discontinued or without price. They are not counted in the total". But I don't consider it very likely that it would exceed the 800mA with non-listed modules included. Now, everything works just fine. But the 3.5mm connections on the Master I/O get so hot that I can't put my finger on them for too long. Is this normal behavior? The adapter itself gets hot too but I can still easily hold it in my hands, so I suppose that is not unusual. Attachments:

This is also relevant when nothing is connected to the USBPOWER module by the way.

Hmmm, this sounds a bit odd; so hot you cannot put your finger on it sounds not ok. Could you remove the following modules (only one at a time) to see if one is consuming excessively power:
- RAINS
- TBD
- MULTIFX
- EUCLID GRID
- ORNAMENT & CRIME
These are the most power hungry modules.
But of course, also one of the others could have some fault that causes too high power consumption.
We will figure it out! Thanks for your help!

So, since I posted this I didn't notice any extraordinary warmth anymore. I did disconnect the led lamp from the USB module back then, I could test it further by placing it back again.

It is possible the plug was not seated properly, and now it is. The important bit is that it's now fine  |

Sounds plausible And I agree, I'm glad it doens't occur anymore. |
