I was trying to power the beaglebone white with the expansion header - connecting 1&2 in P9 to GND and 5 and 6 in P9 to 5V. All was fine till I connected the USB cable to the Beaglebone and it will no longer work. It died instantly and without any smoke/pop sound. What could be the reason. Is it a bad idea to power it via expansion header?
