+A simple user modification to the PCB on early model V1 allows it to safely use DC24V by cutting a trace line to the Vbus which held it back to 21V. You can check whether your Pinecil V1 needs the update by using the PD debug menu. After a few seconds or after PD negotiates (state above 5) it will show [No VBus] if the VBus modification is performed correctly or not needed (i.e., late model V1) or it shows [VBus] if the mod has not been done and there is still a connection to the Vbus.
-Once negotiation is complete; the other screens will show the advertised readings for voltage and current of the proposals.
+The mod method is shown in the February 2022 Pine64 community [Updates](https://www.pine64.org/2022/02/15/february-update-chat-with-the-machine/). Early Pinecil V1 models required cutting a trace. Late model V1 made sometime in 2022 came with [No Vbus] already displayed, and no mod required. The V2 model released Aug. 2, 2022 is a completely overhauled PCB with 28V capable components and requires no mods.
