@mtlynch When I checked in September it said it was backordered. Glad to see everything’s back in stock!

@djclueless But it does look like it’s a cable issue. I tried with an unmodified USB-C cable (same brand and type) and it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ll test it out with another and report back.

Thank you both for helping troubleshoot!
