After reboot cd to /usb/ and see if the file or folder is there. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On battery it doesn't even mount and on mains power i can ssh into the pineapple and issue cd /usb/ it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the Anker has been fully cycled and then fully charged. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemCrash86 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just tried it on mains power, i created a new folder then scp'd that to the usb part and typed reboot from the advanced menu. Once rebooted i ssh'd in went to the usb directory and the new folder was still there. The Anker Astro3E which has been charged from my computer has all the lights a steady blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot think of why it would work on mains but not on a fully charged Anker, Only thing I could think of now is a faulty cable or Anker, or maybe a Pineapple (Allthough the latter is probly incorrect, due to it working on Mains.) However, post some more details if you can :) -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrot Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 No problem, just tell me what you need and i'll post it I'll keep thinking... If you have a multimeter, then check if the cable is shorting and look for decreases in integrity. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystemCrash86 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I just plugged the Anker back into my pineapple after its fully charged (blue leds go out when fully charged) and at first the usb didn't even show up, even the led was not lit. So i tool it out and put it in my computer - it loaded fine so i put it back into the pineapple which then the usb led on the pineapple started flashing and the orange light on the usb is on. Under the usb tab it shows: lsusb Output Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0781:5530 SanDisk Corp.

Foxtrot Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sorry i dont have one of those Buy One :D! Lol just kidding, but without one I don't know how to test for intergrity or what not.. Only thing I could think of now is a cable or faulty equipment. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemCrash86 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Could the USB power cable that is shipped with the pineapple be faulty because that is what i am using from the battery to the pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's possible, try another one or (if your as mad as me) construct your own Frankenstein cable :D -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemCrash86 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 .. I connect my pineapple on the 12V output of the batterie. How do you do that, what kind of battery do you have as i don't see a way to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 How do you do that, what kind of battery do you have as i don't see a way to do that? The Anker Astro3 has a 9V - 12V switch on the side, however I think you have the Astro3E. If you have only 2 USBs on the front of your battery, its the 3E. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas what i can now use for the case that i can put them in because the anker 3 is bigger than the pineapple juice and no longer fits in the case i had with the pineapple?
