RN102 unresponsive after initiating FW update from 6.10.6 to 6.10.7
Initiating update from local admin page, everything seemed normal including the blinking power light during the update process. I received a status email that the unit was rebooting, and I watched...
Few users have the equipment to de-solder and solder ball grid array parts. Many of the parts cannot be purchased in small quantities. And just figuring out what part(s) need to replaced is going to be quite a task without a schematic. The board most likely won't hold up to just replacing things until it's fixed.
Even Netgear doesn't repair them.
So, at least for most, it is a matter of capability, not will. If you have the appropriate equipment and skills needed, then go for it and please share whatever you learn with the forum.
Thanks for all the input!
Yeah, the time & resources I spend messing with the failed unit are just part of my hobby.
Some people like picture puzzles or crosswords. I like resurrecting broken machines.
Well folks, it's been fun. Guess we'll leave this issue unresolved.
The unit died using the online update, causes unknown.
(Makes me wonder if the manual update would have been successful.)
If I learn more I'll post it, of course.
