I know this issue has been encountered several times before. I left my vero 4k+ at my parents for a few weeks completely unplugged. I have to go cat sit sometimes. Anway on first startup it got into kodi then crashed. I wish I could get back in and update quickly. I’m pretty sure I was on the march update. I’ve tried multiple usbs in different ports, toothpick, nothing works and sometimes it get very hot. I’ve read most topics on it but I’m baffled. I’ve tried two different power supplies plugged straight in th wall. Can I connect it to the computer and reset, I clutching at straws and stuck at parents with no box, feel my pain.
Hey sorry for the very late reply, the usb stick showed what it should using the osmc tool. Without it plugged in I just get please standby flashing on and off. I can’t ssh in and the led is just red permanently.
That sounds like a power supply issue. Are you sure the spare power supplies you tried where correct and working? Maybe try to power it (without a power supply) using a USB A-A cable.
I was originally sent a spare power supply as had some display issues but ended up with a replacement box. So I’ve tried two osmc supplied power supplies, I’ll dig around try and find another, which port would I put the USB in or does it not matter. What about USB and power supply at the same time, will that damage the board or is it regulated somehow?
Ok I got a USB cable and powered it from a Samsung plug that gives 2amps at 5v and got the same thing. Tried with the normal supply at the same time and no difference.
Now I have the a a cable can I plug it into my pc and do anything or is it a gonner?
That seems like quite an old version of OSMC you’re trying to install.
It should work however.
I just get please standby flashing on and off
This could be a very low level bootloop.
You’re in the UK – is it in warranty (what’s the order number)? If not – you could still send it back and I could have a look at it, but may not be able to resolve the issue.
It was order no 21489 but that was over four years ago, I can send it back if it will help. Better than binning it and could help others in the future.
just wondering if you figured out the issue? I’m no it wizard like you but would be interested to know, if it’s not gonna be a problem with manufacturers or whatever. Anyway thanks for taking the time.
Hi Mark – yes. I’ve been trying to contact you via your GMail account, but it keeps bouncing.
Oddly, it seems to be bouncing from Outlook / Hotmail and not GMail itself. We’ve tested that we can deliver emails to GMail without any issues, so I am wondering if you have some sort of forwarding in place.
If this is the case, then you will be missing out on emails from others too.
If you send me a PM with an alternative email, I’ll get in touch with you promptly
Oh weird I forward old emails from hotmail to Gmail. I’ll go and have look in outlook spam it’s probably there. Thanks and if you got any ideas how I can make hotmail pass everything through that would be a help. Rather than changing 30 years of addresses
