Iff u-boot is still intact and there is no hardware problem, this should always work: - remove the battery - disconnect USB power - wait 30 seconds - hold down U - plug in USB power - release U after 5 seconds lsusb -d 601a:4740 should now show the Ben. If anything clobbered u-boot (or maybe just the U key doesn't work), then your only hope would be the infamous USB_BOOT contact. It's conceivable that a NAND write could go astray for some reason, and u-boot is just at the most likely places where a bad write may strike. The procedure for USB_BOOT would be the same as above, just with shorting USB_BOOT replacing the pressing of the U key. We've walked quite a number of people through that process in IRC, and it's clear that shorting USB_BOOT is difficult. Some lucky ones get it right the first time, for others it takes an hour trying. The good news is the success rate is very high. Using the conductive rubber knob that came with the Ben tends to improve the odds substantially. If using some precarious method of shorting USB_BOOT, it may help to leave USB connected on the Ben side and doing the unplugging and plugging on the PC side of the cable. That way, there's less risk of shifting the Ben and breaking the USB_BOOT connection. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): discussion@lists.en.qi-hardware.com Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
