Unusual Behavios - Ni-2000

deepforestgreen

I've got an NI-2000 (old, I know) that's acting odd. The lights are abnormal:

LINK/ACT: Blinking - but mostly just stays on
STATUS: ON - solid
OUTPUT: OFF
INPUT: ON - solid

It doesn't communicate with anything. Nothing through serial, and it's not transmitting anything on the network. I connected to it directly - and connected into the same hub that it's on - and run Wireshark, but it's not sending out anything at all. The touch panel is looking for it, but it can't connect.

According to the manual, the lights show similar behavior when booting up, but it's been the same way, all day.

Anyone seen this?

Looks like a CF card failure to me. It's getting stuck in the boot cycle.

I wish AMX would make the "RMA Light" more accessible. I've had this happen twice before on a my own unit - an NI-2000 - and both times had to send it back for repair. The RMA Light i'm referring to is a small LED inside the box itself labeled "SERVICE"; if it's lit up - you're hosed. I should note, the last time this happened to me, it was not lit up.

I doubt it's the CF, but you could easily make a new one up and put it in.
