Is there any reason you need more than 3.5A for a RPI4B? That should be plenty unless you are running so power hungry hats. At idle the 4B draws 0.51A (2.5W) under load maximum draw is 1.52A or 7.6W at 5V. The CN12 connector (or is it CN2 I forget) draws off the 5v rail so it should be fine. I looked at this when creating this to run my set-up. Should have spares available in a week or so if anyone is interested.

would be keen for one if you have any left!

I'm in Perth so shipping won't be crazy.
 
So, i still can't get the wifi to work, i just tried with the pi connected to my monitor. If you have a keyboard plugged in during boot and hold any key down you can watch the install/ loading process happen.

The very first line of code that starts on screen says Failed in red.

failed to activate swap /var/swap.
see 'systemctl1 status var-swap.swap" for details.

I then looked for a swap file "dietpi-set_swapfile"
Swap_Enable(){

local swap_dir="${SWAP_LOCATION_TARGET%/*}/"
local fs_type=$(findmnt -no FSTYPE -T "$swap_dir")

# Exclude devices
# - BBB
if (( $G_HW_MODEL == 71 )); then

G_DIETPI-NOTIFY 1 "Disabled swapfile generation for: $G_HW_MODEL_NAME"

Then i looked in the "hw_model" file which my pi b3+ is listed as below
G_HW_MODEL_NAME='RPi 3 Model B+ (armv7l)'

does anyone know what im doing wrong or is my pi no good?

I just loaded a current rasberry os on it and everything worked fine and it downloaded a heap of updates over the net. same issues though afterwards.

sorry for the long post.
