thanks i will check it out my power connections.
seems a dodgy board has killed my controller. im wondering if you have power plugged into your 4x controller or if its just powered by the pi? previously i only had power plugged into the controller and this was also powering the pi, maybe that also contributed.
Try pulling one of your barrel connectors directly into the controller board; the controller should be supplying power to the pi via the 26 pin ribbon cable.
