MBPRO2 won't start
Hello, my Meteobridge PRO2 spontaneously restarted after a few minutes following a reboot and then froze, while the green LED light is on but nothing else happens. I unplugged it from the power and restarted it a few times, but it froze every time while the green LED light is on.
Re: MBPRO2 won't start
Green LED should always be on and indicates power. Loss of connectivity would be indicated by a fast flashing Yellow LED and normal operation the green LED will be solid and red (intermittent blinking) LED indicating RF data reception. Only green could indicate there may be no internet connection which would be the first thing to confirm?
Has there been any recent changes to your network/router etc? How is the unit connected, Ethernet or WiFi?

When starting up, the green light comes on, but nothing else happens after that; the red light does not blink either.
Because RF reception was poor, even with an external antenna, I switched the motherboard to Wi-Fi to get closer to the VP2 and later back to Ethernet, due to glitches in uploading data to an external platform via Events. Uploading to weather networks worked fine.
The Meteobridge had spontaneous restarts quite often, but then worked normally again afterwards. For example, during the last spontaneous restart, only the green light was on and the motherboard did not return to its normal mode.
On August 24, Ziggo performed maintenance on their network. I restarted the router several times after that, because the network became slow.

Re: MBPRO2 won't start
Most common reason for restarts is a physical unstable power connector. You can easily check by moving the cable a bit. Please do with caution as the solder contacts of the micro USB connector might break from the PCB when doing too much stress. If that is the reason, I can resolder the connector.
Re: MBPRO2 won't start
It is working again spontaneously now after having done nothing for hours. The power supply is difficult to connect (doesn't fit well), and attaching the plug is tricky. It feels like it isn't seated properly behind the opening. I gently moved the plug, and then the green, orange, and red lights started flashing simultaneously. After that, the connection was broken again and hasn't come back.
The reset button on the front isn't positioned exactly behind the hole either. If I try to press the button behind the pinhole with an unfolded paper clip, the pin sometimes goes deep into the housing. It takes a lot of searching to find the button.

Re: MBPRO2 won't start
when send it to me, I can fix the soldering of the power plug and the seating of the pin hole.
