    Edit: My bad, image 4A shows the BoB has a supply from somewhere.
    I've got a similar BOB and spotted something too.
    If you take your 5v from 'elsewhere' (bottom right of bob) and don't get it through the usb header it bypasses the boards protection circuits!! Caution needed.
    It's recommended to use a bare ended usb cable from a psu to the board header in order to both avoid PC usb noise and keep board protection.
