Alix1.d re-start problem

[paolo_ver]

Some days ago, after an heavy thunderstorms, the AC power was lost...but after it has become ON the ALIX Hardware didn't start!!! :(

I was in vaction so the meteohub was forced off for many days... :S

So I tryed to simulate this situation by switching off the power strip and than switch on again but the alix didn't start! :( (All the other hardware connected on that power strip switched on instead...)

I tryed finally to unplug the DC wire from the back of the alix (till the power strip was on) and put it back again and the alix started!!! :blink:

So what I'm wrong ? :huh:

Hi!
i dont have an answer for your problem, but i did have also a problem with AC Power.
While a thunderstorm the power was lost for a really short moment (not a second) and the alix didn´t restart.
After plug out/in the Power strip it did restart.
I tried sometimes, and always restart.

I think the really short powerless time was the problem on my side.

I agree.
The ALIX seems to restart fine with a clean off then on, but a momentary glitch can kill it with no restart.

I used to suffer that problem till I switched to using a better PSU. I now use a small power 'brick'. The 'brick' is capable of smoothing over the tiny power glitches that seem to throw an ALIX 1D using the "standard" PSU.

There is a discussion about this in this old topic.

Thank you very much for your answers! I'll try to see if my problem was similar! And than will look for a "power brick" Thank you. :)
