My Classic has just started having problems with the power connector after almost a year's faithful service. It mostly works, but sometimes needs a little wiggle to get it in the right place.
I've tried a different cable and inspected the soldering but couldn't see any cracks. Probably it's the micro USB connector itself.
Googling says its possible to power a RPI via the GPIO pins but is a little risky.
I'm using the recommended Anker supply so maybe that gives protection. Does anyone have any suggestions?
