Hoobs Box - NIC Link randomly failing #1684

Closed DGAZ40 closed 2 years ago

DGAZ40 commented 2 years ago

Description Hoobs box purchased new a couple months ago. Worked great for the first month but now it is continuing to loose its NIC link. Generally what happens is I notice the device is offline, go check on it and see that the red light inside is on but the link lights are off. After power cycling result is same, red light under vent is on but no link lights. If I wait about 30 seconds after power cycle link will come up momentarily, then goes back off. If I leave the device unplugged for a while eventually it usually comes back online for some period of time, sometimes 1 hour, a day, or the last time it was about a week. Today after leaving disconnected from power for several hours it still is not coming back online. Same result, no link light. So overall it is randomly working and failing. I have tried connecting to three different switches as well as directly to a pc, no change in result in any of those cases. Please advise.

Version I believe I am on v4 but I'm not 100% on the version as I cannot get logged into the unit currently.

Is it connected via ethernet or wifi? Have you tried another network cable?

DGAZ40 commented 2 years ago

Ethernet, and yes I have tried several different cables. I’m confident it is not a layer 1 or layer 2 issue external to the box. Appears to be a hardware or software issue with the box.

The microSD card could be corrupted. Here's how you can reflash it:

You will have to unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom of the HOOBS Box and take the board out then remove the microSD card and plug it into your computer, then follow this guide:

Download the App BalenaEtcher - https://www.balena.io/etcher/ Download the HOOBS Image - https://support.hoobs.org/downloads/image?platform=armhf From the download folder - Load the .zip file in the BalenaEtcher. If you are using a Mac - the file is automatically decompressed and moved to the thrash bin. Restore the file to your download folder Click on flash

Once the process is over - insert the card back into the board. Close the box with the screws. Plug the ethernet cable and then power the device.

I’ve done this but behavior is the same. I connected a monitor to the HDMI port, when the unit is locked up there is no video output on the HDMI at the same time that link lights and connectivity fail. Then if I reboot it, usually I can get it back online without too much fuss, but this is happening several times per week now. I believe the raspberry pie is failing. What is next step, can I get a warranty replacement?
