Update - I was able to connect to it via wifi to complete the setup and no longer have red,blue,amber lights going. However, still no eth0. I downloaded 2.0.3, winscp'd it over via the wifi, this was successful - but yet, no eth0. Honestly at a loss as to what to do here.

Hey guys, purchased a Mark V, had it working, but have off an on run into issues where I can not seem to get eth0 to work. After booting it, there are no lights on my laptop what so ever. Have tried another cabel and another computer, so its not an issue with either of those. I followed these instructions to reflash it. If you're locked out of your WiFi Pineapple or you've forgotten your password, you can use the DIP switches to perform a factory reset by completing the following steps. 1) Power off your WiFi Pineapple 2) Place your DIP switches in the following sequence Switch 1 - UP Switch 2 - DOWN Switch 3 - DOWN Switch 4 - UP Switch 5 - UP NOTE: Position your WiFi Pineapple so the DIP switches are facing you. The DIP switches are ordered 1 through 5 from left to right. 3) Power on your WiFi Pineapple 4) Allow your WiFi Pineapple sufficient time to execute the factory reset When the factory reset is complete, your WiFi Pineapple will automatically reboot. 5) After the factory reset is complete and your WiFi Pineapple has finished booting, power off your WiFi Pineapple 6) Place all five of the DIP switches in the up position 7) Power on your WiFi Pineapple 8) Connect to your WiFi Pineapple via WiFi or ethernet cable 9) Open a web browser and navigate to your WiFi Pineapple's web interface During the flash period - steps 3/4, I left it on for way over an hour, came back, reset the dip switches to all up - rebooted it, now I am getting red, blue, yellow lights blinking consistantly. This should mean that flashing has been successful, but when I unplug it, plug it back in again - I get the same results, this after more than 5 minutes. Any other ideas as to how I can fix this? Also, I can see the pineapple wifi signal so I can probably connect to it over wifi, but I would like to get the ethernet to work. Thanks in advance...

Hi Barry, thanks for the reply. Using the one that came with it. I ended up reflashing it to factory defaults using instructions found from here- http://wiki.wifipineapple.com/index.php/Factory_Reset%C2'> Knock on wood, it now seems to be working. It's strange because I really didn't change anything so I'm not sure what or how things may have become corrupted.

Just bought MarkV at Defcon. It worked fine for a couple of days, just got home and am not getting any connectivity between the ethernet port on my laptop to the pineapple. Made sure connections were good, it's been booted now for about 10 minutes and nothing. No lights on the port on my laptop and the only lights showing on the pineapple are blue (mostly solid with an occasional blink) and green. Any suggestions as to what to do next? Hate to have to return it when it was working and now for some reason, it is not. Tried another cabel and that didn't do it either.
