Phaedrus Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Morning All - I've been searching the forum for some guidance, but nothing's worked so far. I hope this is the place for this request. I've been running the MkV for a few months - no issues. Then it had a power failure during a firmware upgrade (laptop plugged in - no battery - small child - sigh) and the MkV looks bricked. Attempt 1: Read the unbrick instructions, grabbed firmware bin, rebooted (UUUUD) - solid green, solid red, no B or A Gave laptop static ip 192.168.1.2, can't connect via ethernet, no wifi access Attempt 2: Tried reboot and reset (UDDUU) - solid green, flashing RBG - no ethernet connection, no wifi access Am I missing something obvious? Running Mint 17-64 Any help would be great. Thanks in advance! Edited July 15, 2014 by Phaedrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARDETROYA Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) did you try Recovery Web Interface to "unbrick" it (DIP setting 11110)? don forget to follow the inst4ructions and the factory-1.2.0.bin file Edited July 15, 2014 by ARDETROYA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaedrus Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 did you try Recovery Web Interface to "unbrick" it (DIP setting 11110)? don forget to follow the inst4ructions and the factory-1.2.0.bin file Thanks for the reply! I did download that firmware and try the 11110 (UUUUD) boot option, but I get solid amber, green and red now. When I connect by ethernet to the laptop, it says "connecting" but never actually connects. In the browser, it says "Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.1" Phaedrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Have you manually set you laptop IP Address ? (192.168.1.2). Static LEDs are correct in Recovery mode (though I forget which one;s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Static LEDs are correct in Recovery mode (though I forget which one;s). Yes, my laptop is set to 192.168.1.2. Just to see, I rebooted the laptop in recovery mode (11110) without unplugging the pineapple. Still no ethernet connection, but all of the lights are on and solid. Curiouser and curiouser...

St3v3 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Does windows report the network cable as "unplugged" ? As if nothing is connected at all. If so, this sounds very similar to an issue that I had with my first Pineapple Mk V - I got a replacement. If not, can you at least "ping" 192.168.1.1 ?
