Interesting find - Taking a picture of a Raspberry Pi 2 while it is on with a Xenon Photoflash, will crash the Raspberry Pi.

I've heard of this happening back in the early days of microchips. Not heard of it happening in a long time, though.

Its basically somebody taking shortcuts in the chip manufacture and not giving enough casing to protect it. This means that it must be very static sensitive.
