Hi,

I recently had to buy a new ESP32-POE-ISO as I mistakenly applied 12v to my previous one for a few seconds and it no longer functions (although LEDs do come on).

After unpacking the new unit I noticed it had an extra component ("570F KE") connecting capacitor C26+ to the black box component (DCDC1 I think). I couldn't find a match online to the extra component "570F KE".

I was wondering if this component was to be expected or if I should return this unit? I don't really want something that someone has modified.

Note: I didn't purchase directly from Olimex, but another store, in Germany.

No, you are good. This is a factory patch applied in hardware revision M1. It is mentioned in the hardware revision changes:

Where did you apply 12V to? Maybe it can be fixed by changing a component or two.

Thanks for the response, happy to hear I don't have to send it back :)

For the 12v issue, I applied it to the 5v pin, no other power would have been applied from usb or ethernet.
