thank Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 What can be done to get this thing working again? It was working the last time I used it. It has always been kind of flaky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 What were you doing last time it worked? what have you installed/ been using it for. Did you read the wiki or the manual for the recovery steps? The more info you post, the easier we can assist you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thank Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I tried the reset and recovery. Neither worked. Last time I used it was when 2.0 came IIRC. I was doing the normal stuff with it. To be honest it seems so buggy I have only used it a couple times. It not booting up makes me think it may not be code just bad hardware. So is just getting a solid green light a bad sign?

THCMinister Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Do any of the lights flash at all, like the blue led during a boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredbutton Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm now seeing the same issue immediately after updating to 2.1.1. It went down for a reboot after the update and never came back. It is now sitting with a steady green light and a flashing blue light. It is no longer talking over wireless or ethernet. I attempted using DHCP and a static IP on the ethernet port without any success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 With the new firmware the is a security authentication step now, the flashing blue light is searching for firmware. Do you get an IP when plugged into ethernet? I am starting to think this maybe hardware related and not PEBKAC, Maybe reach out to the Darren/seb/hakshop.

bigredbutton Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 PROGRESS! ...Sort of. I gave the dip switch reset one more try, then went for a sandwich. It went back to green and flashing blue for about 15 minutes, then switched to the rotating lights I was expecting. After resetting the switches to 11111 and rebooting, everything came back! So, to resolve this, do the following: Power off your Pineapple. Disconnect the ethernet cable (this is the one major change I made from my last few attempts). Set the dip switches to 10011 (from left to right). Turn on the Pineapple. Go get a sandwich. Wait for the lights to start cycling with a steady green light. Power off the Pineapple. Reset the dip switches to 11111. Power on the Pineapple and let it boot. Unfortunately, I'm now seeing other issues, but I AM able to get an IP again and get back into the interface.

thank Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I don't get any other lights. The power light comes on and that is it. I never get a link light on the ethernet interface, not even in recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantFTC Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 So, you can get into the normal webinterface, but you don't have any lights on except for the green power light? What happens if you use the Black Out infusion to control the other LEDs manually? Does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogischika Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hey thank, I had the same issue after playing around with the new wired client mode (clicked to many buttons too fast ;)). Solved it using the unbricking instructions here: https://wifipineapple.com/?flashing. This should work even though it is an unsatisfying solution.

thank Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 The ethernet doesn't work. I have no way to connect to it. It doesn't work in any dip switch mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHead Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Other people in the forums have resolved simmilar issues buly leaving it unplugged for 3 days and re powering it on then. Clears a stale cache in the memory. Give that a go and see if it works. And also are you properly powering in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
