BR200 Factory reset after poweroutage.
I have a site with a BR200, FirmwareV5.10.0.5, that has factory reset itself after a power outage. The first time there was a several day outage at the site and when it came back up I noticed the net...
And then there is Step "iv"
iv/ The BR200 restarts and that loses all the config again.
This is an old thread, but there is no work around for this.
If you save the config to a file or have it on an Insight server, the results will be the same. The reason is that the BR200 will restart / reboot after it uploads the previously saved config file. After that, it comes back up with a Factory Default config.
If someone would post a picture of the PCB that highlights the NAND chip and includes the part number, we could fix it ourselves instead of throwing it away.

It is too much effort to replace the bad NAND chip. Because existing NAND has a configuration partition with all bad blocks, NAND copy from current one to new one will result in partition boundary misalignment unless you know the partition table as well.
