kimtiede Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I got the PineApple WIFI two days ago. When first powering the device on it did not upgrade and nothing happened. I looked at the content of the SD-CARD and it was empty. So I followed the "bricked" mode flashing instructions and it worked. So today when powering up the device it did not boot. The following happens: * Sometimes the green, blue and red LEDs are turned on and nothing more happens. * Sometimes the green and red LEDs are turned on and the amber LED blinks. * Sometimes (perhaps 1 out of 50 tries) the devices boots up and works. I have tried to start it in recovery mode again - but it is the same behavior. Is it defective? Cheers Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimtiede Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi, I have sent a mail to hak5 shop, but has not heard anything yet. Is there a way to get in contact with them? Thanks in advance Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarty Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Do you have your dipswitches set the right way? ( 1 and 5, first and last) pointed up!? And how did you check the content of the SD card? Tried booting it without the SD card plugged in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimtiede Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes to dip switches - I have also tried to start in recovery mode and its the same behavior. I checked the content of the SD card on my Ubuntu server. I have tried without the SD card and it's the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringes Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I read about someone trying to use the charger instead of the power supply, but I have no idea if that would cause your problems. I wouldn't think so, but you might check. They were shipping with defective SD cards for a while, but I wouldn't think that was the cause either. You could try starting over with a new SD card formatted ext4 though. (I replaced mine with a 32GB class-10.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
