Power Supply! Along with the usb serial I also received a usb to barrel power connector -- I tried that first. It works, Theory: It looks like a brown-out. Supporting Data: While the system is first booting it looks fine until... the radios fire up, then there's enough of a current draw to cause a voltage dip and crash the OS. (no radios during unbrick, so, lower current?) Would love to power test the ps, also watch serial during boot and measure current draw, but hey it's working -- thanks for all the suggestions! Peace!

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I've tried multiple cards, fat and ext formatted, and the flashing instructions on the wiki as well as the factory reset in all sorts of combinations and on different computers. I'll be sure to post what I find when I get the serial adapter. thanks again!

hi damavox -- thanks for the reply. I did try the dip switches 2 and 3 in the down position waited for more than 20 minutes, then power cycled with switches back up, It just ends up with the green light on. Next I moved to flashing the factory image from the flashing page above (switch 5 down). Still no joy. eth0 works for uploading the factory image, but is dead with all switches up.

Proably should have mentioned that I followed all of the instructions at the following link first: https://wifipineapple.com/?flashing It completed successfully.

Hi all-- My wifi pineapple mkv worked for a while, then I didn't use it for a few months. Upon restarting, it boots, all the lights flash and then it ends up on only green. There's no Wifi signal visible and no activity on the ethernet port. I've successfully flashed via ethernet with the unbrick procedure but it fails to boot again when the switches are placed back all up. The SD card is blank even after the unbricking (verified correct md5), I formatted and unbricked again but; no luck. I'm not certain I'm performing the unbrick correctly as the instructions in the following post point to "stager.bin" but it isn't available for download. There's also no zip file as referenced in the post. https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/31637-micro-sd-unbrick-issue/ I did try putting the .bin on the sd card as well as the md5 sum in a file called md5.txt -- nada. I've ordered a new sd card but, in another computer the sd card seems to work so not confident it will help. Any help or a working link to stager.bin and the sd card zip would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, JM.
