Hello all, first post here. I just received a used technobeam which never boots up. Upon power, all led segments light, but it will not go any further.
Advice and guidance are requested for this newbie.
There is a chance that the firmware in it got borked in a failed upgrade. Do you have another Technobeam around of the same vintage (i.e. same color strip/text on the side)?
If so, then you can try crossloading the firmware from one unit to another and see if that brings it back.
Thanks for your reply. I tried XLD last night with interesting and disappointing results.
I XLD'ed about a dozen times with no apparent result, then the troubled fixture came to life, the display went through a normal startup including home etc. After a couple minutes of normal operation, I power cycled the unit to make sure the fix stayed, and it went back to being comatose. I tried XLDing another dozen or so times with no effect at all.
Does this help narrow possibilities? I'm thinking I have a board problem, but sure would like a fix thats less expensive than swapping out the mother board.
