Dear friends, 
I am new user. I have tinker board with 7 inch hdmi touch screen. My problem is that after 2 to 3 mints the board and display is off. I have 5v 2 amp adapter. I think problem on adapter because when I individually powered the two devises then it’s running well but touch is not working.
My question is that what will be the exact ampere to run the said device how can I make this, 2ndly there will be any chance to run this machine with rechargeable battery.
Please help me.

Hi there, yes u already answered your question it’s your adapter which delivers less current. 
They recommend you to use a adapter with 3Ampere. And don’t forget to use a proper cable as well with high AWG.
