We had a customer with this problem today. The customer called yesterday saying that they were offline. I went over to find that their Airbridge Total had somehow been reset to the default settings. I re-configured it, and it was back online. Then today, I get another call from them saying it wasn't working. I went over again, and this time found that the bridge seemed to be repeatedly resetting itself. The power LED was solid. The blue LED would come on for a second or so, then it would go dim, then it would go out. Then it would come on, and the pattern would repeat again. It was what you would expect to see if someone was repeatedly pressing the reset button the powershot. At first I thought the bridge was bad, so we went to replace it. When we opened the the waterproof connector, there were water droplets everywhere inside. We've been getting occasional short, but heavy rain showers for the last few days. After drying the connectors off, and re-connecting them, the bridge started acting normally again.
