Dead wifi issues on new units

[Jokah]

My Pandora was shipped on the 28 april aswell, but I haven't received it yet, I guess some more days are needed as I am living in Switzerland and not in UK, I will give my feedback about the wifi issue as soon I got my Pandora in my hand to test it, and I really hope to be a lucky one with mine :rolleyes:

If i enable the wifi first & then type in the same command, this is the terminal message "bash: susudo: command not found"

Don't type susudo


The command is sudo


Just a quick update on the issue:


I sent CC a script that creates a bootable testing SD Card which also includes the WiFi test today.


I haven't heard yet if they got the test to work (they also need to setup a WiFi access point), but I'll keep you informed.

Have you discovered if the existing duff chips are fixable or if it requires h/w replacement?

I am wondering how many people in Switzerland have a Pandora. I am in Geneva and I've got my refurbished one (sold though ebay directly from Craig) for a good 2 month now. I am still waiting on my original pre-order though.


I am happy with my unit although I've already seen some artificial on the screen once, so it will probably have to go back for a LCD cable change at some point (for now it's not doing it anymore). Only one of the gaming button doesn't feel quite right but otherwise the control are pretty much perfect.

My current guess is that it's bad soldering, so unless you can do a reflow, it needs to be sent back.

I shipped at least 10 units to Switzerland already, so there should be quite a few

Not really something I can fix with a screwdriver and some suguru then?


I'll hassle Craig & Jacquelyn to sort out a return. Hoping I can get it done quickly before travels.

I'm Swiss, too (living in Bern). Hi there!


Sadly my screen cable is also dying (for the second time). I sent a mail to ED, but I understand how overworked the poor fellow is.


Apart from that the Pandora is amazing. I can't believe how well everything works by now software-wise.

Yes... I know


The first replacement cable you got was still one of the old ones.


Happy to have the new ones now


And I hope to be able to get in contact with you soon... lots of work to do

I know you work too hard, but keep up the excellent work, Ed and the rest of the OPT.

Don't worry, I have enough time and can wait patiently. Don't stress yourself too much and make sure you get enough sleep!

Wow! Good news for post-May shippers!

Glad the wifi is sorted for new units. Just would dearly like mine to be fixed now but no response from the HQ :unsure: Looks like I'll have to live with it for a while. Sucks a bit after going premium - if I'd have waited would have got a working one!

Heh, that's just what I was thinking!
