I figured out the problem. And, apologies, it is not a shitty firmware 2.3 release. It's a shitty sense of direction. After doing the factory reset, I flipped the DIP switches all DOWN (wrong direction). They should be in the all UP (pointing away from the bottom of the case) position. Hope this helps. -Mike

I just got mine yesterday and I'm having exactly the same problem. It worked fine, and re-booted out of the box when I unplugged/plugged power back in. I did these things - after which I noticed rebooting via unplug/plug power resulted in the solid green, solid blue, dim red and bricked condition: 1. I flashed the 2.3 firmware. Everything came online OK. 2. A few minutes later I followed the factory reset procedure. note: after setting password and wifi settings on the web UI, it re-boots. It doesn't advise to reset the DIP switches first.....) Consequently, it goes back into the factory reset cycle after that re-boot. The next time thru I reset the DIP switches (while it was powered on). It booted and I was able to login. After a few hours playing with it, I unplugged/plugged the power adapter to re-boot it (as I had changed the target log for Karma to /sd/) solid green, solid blue, dim red and bricked condition. I find it hard to believe it's a power adapter problem - as I am able to go back thru the factory reset and it comes back. Also, hard to believe a shitty SD card, as the card operates fine in my ubuntu notebook. I suspect a crappy 2.3 firmware release.
