  • Because it can be very finicky and I don’t know what the ramifications would be if the wire length did cause issues flashing the firmware.

    I would follow the installation steps and make a backup and check that back up but I don’t know how badly errors during the flashing process would effect the laptop.

    Plenty of people also seem to use the CH341A unmodified without issue but I don’t know if the 5V issue may cause problems in rare situations or if it’s a complete gamble of whether or not it could brick your device. If it’s only an issue if you do something like jostle the clip while it’s doing something than it would be a lot easier for me to just go that route
