This happens when you use a Pi 5 without the official 5A power supply.Hi there.
I wanted to use my Raspberry Pi for a project, but after installing the Raspberry Pi desktop image, there's always a popup in the top right corner saying "USB overcurrent," and none of my USB devices work. I couldn't find any fix online other than soldering a wire on the back of the board, and that solution was specific to the Raspberry Pi 3.
Can you help me with this, or is my Raspberry Pi just broken?
