Hello,

I have a new NR5101 that worked well for one day, now i can't get it to start.
When i power it on, the power led lits up for about ten seconds and starts blinking, but keeps blinking forever, no extra lights that lit up.
I have tried the reset, with and without holding it down during powering up and many more things, no result.
Do i have to install the firmware again, and if so, how do i prepare a usb stick.

Thanks.

    Hi Sir,

    1. May I know is your device managed by Nebula, or worked standalone?
    2. May I know is there any Nebula Icon on the device's box, or related QR code on the sticker? 
    3. If possible, could you please let us know what firmware you used before?

    Best Regards,
    Richard

    Hello Richard,

    I never knew about Nebula until now.
    No, the device is standalone, no Nebula at all.
    I got the device last Saturday, made a quick setup to get it working, used it only for a day, haven't had the time to look at things like firmware.

    So after all the things i tried without any result, i think the only way for me is updating the firmware by usb.

    Best regards,

    Rudi

    Tried power off your device a couple of minutes, not just a ordinary reboot?
