Cannot Connect to HOOBS #1688

Closed sim006 closed 2 years ago

sim006 commented 2 years ago

I used my HOOBS Box for some time but I disconnected it when I had some network issues. I am trying to reconnect and set things back up and I cannot connect back to HOOBS no matter what I do. Some details and things I have tried:

Any suggestions? I am happy to reset the box, if needed, I would just like to get it working again, the box was not cheap.

Try reflashing your microSD card.

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.
