zz2Fac3zz Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 So my Pineapple just stopped booting up all of the sudden. I'm using the wall power adapter. I've tried resetting system defaults, but after it loads the firmware I reboot and I just get a solid green light and cannot connect via Wifi or Ethernet. I've had my pineapple for more than a month so I don't think its eligible for an exchange. Any Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daren_Z Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The green light just means you have it plugged in with the power adapter — not an indication that there is a problem with the wifi pineapple. Perhaps try ifconfig and post what you get here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz2Fac3zz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Correct the problem is I don't get a blinking blue light indicating that it is booting up. Even if I try booting without an SD card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreidiv Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 try to reset using the dip switches or re-flash it also check to make sure you dip switches are in the right position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz2Fac3zz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 up, down, down, up up from left to right. Now it won't even respond to the dip switches I just get a power light and nothing else. I've never unplugged it in the middle of flashing or removed the SD card well it was on. I've tried different power and cable sources. I think it just died on me =( I have a usb to TTL serial cable I used to flash the mark 4 but I'm not sure if I even wanna mess with all that.

Mr-Protocol Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I would say hook up the TTL and see what it shows you for when it boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz2Fac3zz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 So if you where to hook up a cable like To a pineapple like What pins would you use to avoid causing an electrical fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I would RTFM. ;) No dis-assembly is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz2Fac3zz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Haha Mr-Protocol I like you. Its Black-White-Green-None from left to right for those who are to lazy to RTFM. Unfortunately its not even attempting to boot. Putty doesn't see a thing lights don't flicker. So I guess the question is now, does anyone wanna buy a cheap pineapple paperweight?

Lord_humungus Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just a thought, you do have an SD card and correctly engaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I wonder if you have your TX and RX correct. Try swapping them. You should at least see bootloader stuff happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz2Fac3zz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ok swap the TX RX and before people start jumping in on the serial setting I changed the speed to 115200 COM3 Flow control none. I get the lovely output of ÿÿþÿÿþüüà. I'm guessing that's not good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostngone Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 ÿÿþÿÿþüüà is good! þüàÿüüþÿÿ would be bad.. :D 8N1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
