Scrag Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I got my new pineapple today and have been having problems. First off - the SD card reader didnt hold in the SD card. I opened the case, and adjsuted the metal holder flap - works now. 1.) I inserted the SD card first thing to flash it on AC power. The Amber, Red, and Blue LED's just continuously cycle a wierd pattern. I waited 7 minutes and pineapple doesnt boot. The LED's, Amber, Blue, and Red just cycle flash a wierd pattern. 2.) I took out the SD card, inserted it into my laptop. The MD5 file and the .bin file are there, so It looks like the SD card is ok. 3.) Tried to boot without SD card, just flashes Amber, blue and red in a pattern. 4.) I tried setting the DIP switches to UP, DOWN, DOWN, UP, UP to reset the firmware. It still doesnt boot - same LED flash cycle. 5.) I also tried flashing it again with the SD card like in step 1 but same result. Any ideas what I can try? I am guessing the SD card reader isnt working properly. Thanks, Scrag Edited November 20, 2013 by Scrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would suggest giving it one more shot, follow the instructions on the card step by step, read every word. If you still have problems, contact shop@hak5.org and they can get you sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrag Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah I tried a few more times, still same result. I also followed the instructions on how to unbrick and I got as far as uploading the stagr.bin but the rest would not go. With the red LED coming on all the time im guessing its a bad SD reader. I also made sure the MD5 matched up. Ill contact shop@hak5.org like you said. Thanks,Scrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrag Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thanks Sahid2080, and everyone else. I tried one of my old pineapple's power cords and it worked for me right away. Thanks, Scrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
