Ecobee Power Extender Kit (PEK)
The PEK is a multiplexing diode/relay module used when a dedicated C-wire is absent. If the internal circuitry of the PEK degrades, it can fail to maintain a stable 24V bridge when the thermostat switches from low-power standby to high-power calibration modes, causing the voltage sag that triggers a reboot.

24V 40VA Transformer
Many older HVAC systems utilize 20VA transformers designed for mercury thermostats. The ecobee requires a higher current load for its sensor array and WiFi communication; an undersized transformer will experience a magnetic saturation failure or voltage drop during peak initialization, preventing the thermostat from completing its calibration cycle.

ecobee3 lite Control Head
If the power supply is verified as stable, the loop indicates a logic failure. This typically involves the internal non-volatile memory (NAND) reaching a 'read-only' state due to cell wear, which prevents the device from saving the environmental calibration offsets and forces a system crash and reboot.
