Meteobridge FORMAT failed

Post by joder »

As the title indicates it seems that my red meteobridge is starting to slowly kick the bucket.

I get a format failed on boot and then the unit doesn't seem to properly read my weatherstation sensors. Is there a way to get a new internal USB stick? Also, the dispaly has some decent burn in. Not sure if these are replaceable as well?

The good news is that I got a PRO2 to replace it and the signal difference is nearly 10db!

How old is the unit? If the internal USB stick is not SLC industrial then USB failure will happen in due course. Internal USB replacement needs to be a certain physical size. ATP Nano Dura works/fits well, typical available from Mouser or Digi-Key etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn0_tM_jjZI

I have heard of the display being replaced but recall it is a bit close quarters technical thing. One reason I run the Display Control [always off]

Please post result of "http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/system.cgi?lsusb" so that I can judge if it with the USB stick or the USB hib chip (which more often is the cause of problems).

Thanks, that proves the internal USB hub chip needs replacement. I can do the repair (including change of OLED) for 50 Euro. When you are in EU shipping back is on my cost. If you are outside EU we should pm: info@smartgedded.com
