No LEDs, No Display **solved**
Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2020 10:35 pm
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.
