Great. So, how do I make sure I’m purchasing one of the new & improved ones rather than one of the faulty ones?

  Someone already figured out how to tell them apart: There's a small voltage regulator component that was originally near the edge of the board. In the new revision, it has been moved to the previously empty space above the word "micro" in "micro SD card" [1] So now you just gotta find a reseller willing to check that they're sending you the correct version.

    And here you can find the "resistor hunting" which describes what has changed on the PCB : https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=259629#p1583459 https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=2596...

    Thank you. It seems like most of us will have to rely on online vendors beginning to proudly advertise “we have the new one!”.
