triangle Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 So I had my pineapple mark V running for a few hours or so. When I came back I found it with a solid green, solid blue, and a dimly lit red light. Whenever I unplug-replug it in I get the same light combination. I have tried formatting my SD card - same issue. I have even tried the recovery mode DIP switch setting, but I still get the same light combinations.. Help!!

r00tanon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I just got mine yesterday and I'm having exactly the same problem. It worked fine, and re-booted out of the box when I unplugged/plugged power back in. I did these things - after which I noticed rebooting via unplug/plug power resulted in the solid green, solid blue, dim red and bricked condition: 1. I flashed the 2.3 firmware. Everything came online OK. 2. A few minutes later I followed the factory reset procedure. note: after setting password and wifi settings on the web UI, it re-boots. It doesn't advise to reset the DIP switches first.....) Consequently, it goes back into the factory reset cycle after that re-boot. The next time thru I reset the DIP switches (while it was powered on). It booted and I was able to login. After a few hours playing with it, I unplugged/plugged the power adapter to re-boot it (as I had changed the target log for Karma to /sd/) solid green, solid blue, dim red and bricked condition. I find it hard to believe it's a power adapter problem - as I am able to go back thru the factory reset and it comes back. Also, hard to believe a shitty SD card, as the card operates fine in my ubuntu notebook. I suspect a crappy 2.3 firmware release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tanon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I figured out the problem. And, apologies, it is not a shitty firmware 2.3 release. It's a shitty sense of direction. After doing the factory reset, I flipped the DIP switches all DOWN (wrong direction). They should be in the all UP (pointing away from the bottom of the case) position. Hope this helps. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
