IanL Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi, I have a brand new pineapple MKV but can't seem to get it to perform the initial flash. I've updated the SD with latest download and even used the recovery mode to restore the stager but neither of these caused any change in behaviour. On power up the pineapple all of the lights come on briefly then the blue one goes out, followed by the yellow one. The red light remains on for a few second and then goes out too. 5 - 10 seconds later the yellow light starts flashing and remains flashing until I remove the power (longest time I left it was for about 45 minutes. Can anyone help? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabo2uk Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 From what I remember the yellow flashing light means its trying to find the firmware from the SD card. Is the SD Card installed. Maybe try and re-download the firmware!? Try here https://wifipineapple.com/?flashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amendt Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) IanL I have done the same thing. After I upload the stager file via 192.168.1.1 in my browser and flip the dip switch to all up my blue light stays solid. At least now I know it is not the ethernet cable or the micro SD card. I have been get lots of responses on Google Plus https://plus.google.com/118241806298188439103/posts/iCaAQ3QUdLa Edited January 15, 2014 by amendt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awskier08 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 can you ping the pineapple from your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanL Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've tried reflashing and reformating the SD card but with no change. I can ping the pineapple as it seems to be running a DHCP server when the yellow light is flashing but there is no web interface. Starting to think there is a hardware problem with the built in SD card reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awskier08 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'd probably talk with the hakshop and see if they can fix it for you. One more thing, can you do a nmap -v to it and see if any ports come back as open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabo2uk Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Could be the SD Card!?!? Do you have another your could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
