Green and Red

[Rainman_34]

So my work just gave me an MK5 that has been sitting around for a while.  The SD card was still attached to the card that came with it so I doubt the MK5 had been used yet.  I put the SD card in and powered on the MK5.  I waited 5 minutes and I still only had a solid green light and solid red light.  When it powers on all lights come on then the blue light goes off and then the yellow light flashes twice and turns off.  I have tried the following things: all dip switches up and power on wait five minutes - solid red and solid green light, dip switch 5 down and all others up with my computer having network address of 192.168.1.2 - solid red and solid green light and my computer says no wired connection, dip switches 2 and 3 down and all others up powered on and waited 5 minutes - solid red and solid green light, I have repeated these steps with the factory firmware as well.  All steps end with a solid green and solid red light with no wired connection and no wireless broadcast.  Please help.

I have tried this but still get the same result. Solid red and green light on powerup with no ethernet connection even when plugged in and no wifi signal to connect to

This is correct. The factory firmware is different to the upgrade. The checksum is for the factory image.

Seb. Any idea why this disnt work for me either?

[Rainman_34]

Also do I need to nano edit the MD5 file on the SD card to match the result of the md5 check that I perform?

[big-brother]

Sebkine. I still have an unanswered query.

is the special factory image  (which downloads as mk5_factory.bin) the factory-1.2.0.bin or WiFi Pineapple MKV's 2.0.4 firmware (upgrade-2.0.4.bin)the special factory image that I download (no matter how many attempts) verifies to:

Bigs-MBP:Downloads bigbrother$ md5 mk5_factory.bin 

MD5 (mk5_factory.bin) = 96df5ccc388bd86b40a122c546adf687

and not  8f684011ad40ca601cf159cd3381f7e0 as mentioned in 1.

On https://www.wifipineapple.com/downloads >> MK5 tab >> 2.0.4 firmware
the md5 says it is:

MD5: eb154e6aa368567a4dcb369f68370489
Date: 2014-09-07 15:13:19

this is also not the same as stated in 1.

It would be much easier to just link the page you are talking about, rather than copying and pasting bits in and messing up some formatting.

It appears as if my post has been hijacked.  Can anyone address my original message?

[big-brother]

not hijacked. same issue. and the info provided on the wiki http://wiki.wifipineapple.com/legacy/#!firmware.md seems to have discrepancies 

[Rainman_34]

I'm not sure what the issue is.  I was able to get another one from work that works fine.  I took the SD card from the working one and put it in the problem one and still got the same issues.  So this is definitely a hardware issue on mine.
