There is no distinction for power to the pins you describe. On only one occassion, one pin failed to have +5 volts of all the robots I have inspected and /or helped troubleshoot over the years. That failed pin had zero volts. There is a possibility you may have a damaged device, but nothing that would give you 0.35 volts on I/O 9-15. There is an internal circuit breaker inside the RC. Is it possible you have devices wired to input 9-15 that might be shorting out the 5 volt supply and tripping the breaker. Can you describe exactly the condition under which you are reading 0.35 volts? Is one of your inputs, failing to operate? If so which one?
