Mobius Dead??

[Royston]

Hi
Was installing mobius into HK GoPro case and it was working OK before enclosing in the case.
Now I just get a green charging light but cannot get any other signs of life. Won';t switch on etc. Have I somehow goosed, sorry, broken the board. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards
Roy

OK!!!
As I';ve had no response.
Have I somehow just killed it and is there another way of checking as a replacement board is not far from the price of a new camera??

I know those micro edge connectors can be a little hit and miss at times, and best left undisturbed.  Could it be a connector at fault here?

[Royston]

Thanks for replying but don';t think so. Battery has been fully charged separately but not getting anything.

I think I has something similar when I used an extension cable between the board and the camera module.

Try attaching it back how it was, may be the extension cable or it not being seated properly.

Cheers
Will give it a go but it was working and this is a replacement cable as the original one was duff. I must admit they are a bugger to connect though. But you are right. I';ll start again and see what happens.
Tried a different USB just in case but no joy there either.
Cheers

Tried back to basics but still no joy. Only sign of life is a brief green LED flicker as I connect the usb and that';s it.
Thanks anyway
Roy

PS. Anyone got a spare board going cheap??

Roy, I';d be happy to have a look at it if you want to send it my way?

[Royston]

Would appreciate that as banging my head against a brick wall

Hi Roy

Have you tried the reset. There is a small hole next to the backlight above the card slot, push in with a paper clip. It worked for me.

Thanks Pete but was knackered.
Tim/quadrature fixed it for me.

The Mobius had one of the SMD inductors ripped off the board.  No amount of pushing the reset button would have fixed that.
