No LEDs, No Display **solved**

[miraculon]

This morning, I noticed that my website data stopped last night around 11:30 PM.

Indeed, there were no current uploads showing in the meteobridge live data tab.

I tried a reset from the system page and the entire unit did not start up, no LEDs or display.

I tried a power-off restart, no luck there either.

I unplugged everything except power and finally saw a display message about a formatting failure. It took a long time for anything to show up.

I found that it would work with the USB stick unplugged from the front. I tried looking at the stick in PC, and it showed as unformatted.

I have it working on internal flash at this time, and I ordered an industrial SLC USB stick.

It seems that the USB stick is bad since the Pro Red works without it now. Whatever happened, it resulted in an apparently dead unit with no display. The bad flash really hung things up.

Update: or so I thought. This afternoon, it is exhibiting the same problem again without external USB flash.

Looks like a defective device to me. Can you please bring it back to live and grant me remote access for some checks?

Email sent with MAC and password. I also attached a couple of system logs that I saw using LuCI/OpenWRT.

I dug out my old TP link and updated the license for it. I agree that something is failing in the PRO.

I have moved everything over to the TP-Link based meteobridge and will run that.

I'll leave the PRO running (no uploads now) if you want to look at it.

The old meteobridge seems to be working well (using WLL as a data source).

I placed another USB flash in the inside USB socket. The Pro Red has been working fine ever since.

I have the recommended SLC USB on order and will install it as soon as it is received.

So far, so good...

After some initial difficulties with the new SLC USB stick in the internal socket, I consider this issue to be closed and solved.

You can either format the stick with a 3rd party utility or on a Linux box to ext4.

Otherwise see this post on WxForum to delete the lock file and permit it to be automatically formatted by the MB Pro itself.
