@György-Farkas After doing the factory reset I got in. It hung on looking for a FW upgrade and I just hit SKIP and I'm good now. Thanks...now I get to play a little. Steve

@Lazar-Demin I've made an unforgettable error (a "medical malpractice" ;). I've disconnected the USB-to-Serial module but forgot to remove the wires from TX0 and RX0. The forgotten ~20 cm / ~8" long wire on RX0 operated as a perfect antenna. I really do apologise, didn't meant to cause a disturbance in the Force.

@Jeff-Seese Does anybody else have ... a real hard reset solution? Here you are a "brute force" solution by Onion for the HW_RST button problem of Omega2S+. It should work theoretically if you put a resistor between the base (1) and emitter (2) of the Q2 PNP transistor. I wonder what about in practice because I do not have such devices.

@Anders-Öster said in Omega mini dock: Thanks to both, I wil try with a wire. @György-Farkas - by pressing the reset button duriing boot you can access a menu and choose to flash the Omega 2+ from USB even when it is bricked as I understand it.

Sorry. I did not see this: Restoring after a factory reset. Solved

resolved with a promised from onion that the minidock will be replace. however they refuse to replace the GPS dock (extra capacitor not locking issue) because they say its the vendors fault in a "miscommunication" a very irresponsible reason if you ask me. its definitely not due to my miscommunication with the vendor and why proper QA not been done on the GPS dock and removes the extra capacitor before its send to all users ?

@MookieDog said in Power Dock Reset Button Not Actually Connected?: Thanks for the prompt response! Your welcome. Check out the newest software ... it should be work now with the reboot/reset. As it was a software problem too. http://community.onion.io/topic/1282/omega2-reboot-and-sd-card-fixed/6
