I’ve had a perfectly working setup with VenusOS running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ for the last four years. I have a touch display connected to the RPI.

do you use some special software like dbus-serialbattery? although some here say not possible - my system did updates by itself - then i got a non-functioning system But - maybe important informamation - the lightning bolt is a Raspberry notation, not enough power Did you try to use another power…
