Firmware SHUTDOWN: MCU fried?

Hello everyone, After a few weeks I booted my VC3.1 again and now it crashes when I try anything (homing, heating up, etc.). Also, the 4028 fan no longer starts at 100% when booting up, which it used to do. I have had an Octopus 1.1 installed since October 2021 and never had such problems. Could it be that the MCU is defective? How should I proceed with troubleshooting?

Something is wrong with your wiring

That doesn't negate the fact that all the problems you described are caused by wiring issues

Ok, point taken. But which wires? It happens when I try to home or to heat up hotend/bed. Those two things arent related as far as I can tell.

I can't tell you, but something is shorting or broken if the fans aren't going 100% during startup when they used to. Start unplugging things and seeing if the problem goes away. Then investigate why that item is causing the issue. This is going to involve a lot of investigations and only you can do that

OK, now with nothing at all attached but the RPi, I get I2C NACK error. Any ideas?

Maybe firmware got corrupt somehow, but if it were me I would treat the board as faulty and replace it

I also reflashed it, to no avail. Replacement is already ordered.
