StringJunky Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I ordered a Mark V in early January, and couldn't connect to the UI out of the box. Posted about it here: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/31580-first-boot-setup-failure/ A few days later I sent an email to HakShop describing the issue, and after a little coordination they shipped me a new one. Got it in the mail tonight, went through the first boot process, and was logged in within 10 minutes of opening the box. Now I just need to dig through the tutorials for this guy. Thanks for taking care of it in such a timely manner, HakShop!
Guest spazi Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 just goes to show that the hak5 team really does care about us just as much as we care about them :)Thanks for sharing
Sebkinne Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks guys! It's always nice to hear this kind of stuff! Enjoy your WiFi Pineapples! Best regards, Sebkinne
mikeyrave Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 i've had a few issues myself and each one solved; not only in a professional manner but timely.
ZeroSec Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 +1 to this! the hakshop and all of Hak5 are awesome! Plus from talking for a while on IRC I even got Darren to sign my "SNUBS" Haktip stickers
Nextria Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I really hate to be the one telling this here. But after a week I still haven't got a replay for my bricked pineapple. Last week after working for 2 months it stopped (just green and amber lights) I tried factory reset and the unbrick guide with no success. I mailed the shop last Friday but still got no answer.
JackChitt Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Big vouch here for CS!!! I got my MK5 for Christmas and I had an issue I thought had been resolved but it reappeared a week or so ago. Hak5 is going to replace it for me!! Way over the 30 day policy but my issue has been well documented here https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/31364-cant-get-mk5-working/ so I got the green light for a replacement!
Nextria Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Little update apparently I mailed to the wrong e-mail address. This was my mistake. I received a e-mail back with a link to the return policy page. And if I could send my pineapple back. This sucks because I live in holland. If I need to send it back it would cost 30-50 euro. I find this a lot of money. Especially since it only 2 months old. Last Friday I sent a e-mail to technical support. But I haven't received any response back.

Darren Kitchen Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Nextria, Sara from our HakShop will be in contact to work out a replacement. Stay tuned. Cheers!
Nextria Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Hey Darren, Its almost a week now an I haven't got a e-mail from Sara yet. Don't want to sound impatient..
St3v3 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I've also a bricked unit, and now finding lots of reports in these forums of people with problems. This is a bit disappointing, and particularly annoying for a foreign buyer.
Nextria Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Still haven't heard anything about a replacement. I read more and more of the same problem! Is this a bad batch ? Can it be checked with the serial number? I really want to have a answer before I buy anything else from the haK5 shop.

About the email, please email shop@hak5.org and quote this thread + what Darren said. Best regards, Sebkinne

Best regards, Sebkinne Hey Sebkinne, Just send a email. I hope we can get to some agreement. I really like the pineapple, it worked great for couple of weeks. regards Nextria
Sebkinne Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 It feels very much like a bad batch to me. You may think so, but it's not.
Sebkinne Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 How do you know ? Because I know the size of our batches, I know that people that bought the pineapple that have had this issue bought it sometimes weeks apart and I know there are under a handful of people that have actually had this issue because of a hardware fault. They are outliers that happened to report the issue at the same time. Also, as I know all these facts, I also know that if it were a bad batch, we would have more reports. Our instructions say to use the ethernet port to set up and boot your pineapple for the first time. If this didn't work, our inbox would be overflowing. As I said in a different thread, please contact shop@hak5.org for a replacement. As it is a hardware failure, it will be replaces without a charge. Anyway, this is not really on topic. I'm going to lock it as it has greatly deviated from the original title. Anyone wanting to add anything, please create a new thread or PM me. Best Regards, Sebkinne
