Neuros Technology Forums

Exactly what I had.
I returned my unit, but maybe better mail to Joe Born (see his earlier reply in this topic)

Reboot at random spot during boot process, always after the initial screen is gone and the unit switches to high-ress.
It seems newer firmwares only make it worse.
Comes to me as mem problem.
Network configured as stated.
I returned the unit to ThinkGeek today.
I'll follow what happenes next, maybe I come back later.
If I order one again, I shall insist on testing before shipping.

Update:

Flashed in newest hardware 3.25.0.23
And all it does: Reboot during powering-up, even when nothing but TV connected.
I cannot go back now to earlier firmware anymore, somehow the package is refused.

Fstolze:

No worry about updating:
- Download the upk file into media card;
- Save it as /newpackage/r3.upk;
- While media card plugged in, recycle the power;
- System will reboot into upgrade mode;

This procedure works fine and stable for me.

As far as I can see in my case 2 possibilities:
1. Some minor change in hardware which needs update in firmware
2. Hardwarefailure, for example in memory

Good Luck!

To be clear: powersupply-issues are ruled out for me now.
I tried another powersupply and the plug is put in the machine firmly and completely.
That was the first I checked and double-checked.

When I use firmware 3.20-0.18 or higher: reboot at RANDOM moment during boot process after the initial screen, most of the time before the main-menu appears, sometimes during loading of modules.
This happens even if I only connect power-supply and no television (I can hear it rebooting by the click)

Only a few times I got it running under 3.20-0.20, but when I connected network immediately reboot.

When I use firmware 3.20-0.16 system boots fine, but reboots immediately when I connect network-cable or input video device.
When I tried to playback Mp3 on mem-card: reboot.
When I show picture on mem-card: reboot

System is completely useless at this moment!

By the way:
- I tried other network-cable, router etc. but no difference
- I use NTCS/PAL television (multi-system, NTSC/PAL output-setting of the Neuros makes no difference)
- I tried both NTSC and PAL input source

Update:
I found another power-supply, but same problem.

Situation appears to be much better using firmware 3.20-0.16, but that firmware supports no PAL and if I make any input or ethernet connection: reboot.

Hi folks,

I received my Neuros today and I have similar problems.
Came with latest firmware, keeps rebooting.
At the moment of reboot the green LED goes off a second and there is a click.
Could it be power-supply?
Supply is here 220 Volt, according to specifications this should work but I suspect that this is the problem.
It comes to me that the plugin-powersupply is different from earlier versions.
Situation gets better after trying for a while.
When connecting to Ethernet immediately reboot again.
Flashing back to firmware 3.20.0.19 makes it all worse.
