 Answer:
When the Raspberry Pi is powered by a 5V 2A power adapter and connects to 5inch HDMI LCD (H), it doesn’t require an external power supply by default. However, if the user uses the Raspberry Pi to drive other high-power devices at the same time, the USB interface on the Raspberry Pi may be insufficiently powered, at this time an external power supply is required.

Anti-Piracy

Unfortunately, there are quite a few pirated/knock-off products in the market. They're usually some poor copies of our early hardware revisions, and comes with none support service.

To avoid becoming a victim of pirated products, please pay attention to the following features when purchasing:
