I am using Raspberry pi 3 as media center with OSMC on it, it was working fine with 5.2V 2A power supply for about 3 months.

But now LAN and USB ports are not working, green LED is also not blinking on boot, but I am getting output on HDMI (though it takes more time to boot). The display on my TV shows low power symbol but I think 2A supply should be sufficient for pi without any peripherals connected. I have disconnected everything form the board (only power supply and SD card connected) but still same results.

I checked voltage output on GPIO pins and I am getting ~5.1 V and 3.24 V on pin number 2 and 1 respectively. I also tested voltage at PP7 , PP35 and PP8 all seems fine. PolyFuse also seems good.

So far I have tried latest version of OSMC, Raspbian (without NOOBS) on SandDisk ultra 16GB class 10 Sdcard, and tested these power adapters ( 5.2V 2A , 5.1V 1.5A ) .

Please let me know what can I do to narrow down the issue.

"The display on my TV shows low power symbol" this has NOTHING to do with the (alleged) current rating of the power supply.

The Voltage is too low and/or the cables are inadequate. This may be a transient, so it may not show on a meter. See Raspberry Pi Power Limitations

This may (but most likely not) have anything to do with USB
