Onion 2 powered, but no AP?

Anyone? Is there a chance that I can revive it or do I request RMA?

@Jens-Brynildsen It sounds to me like the flash may be bad or not soldered properly. If it was a power-issue it should've already worked with you having tried so many different methods of powering it up.

Did you read the guidelines? ... you will find the link on the top of the page. There it enplanes what procedure you have to do to get HW problem solved.

@Luciano-S. Yeah. It took some time, but I found it. The first question I got when they replied was if I could connect it to a CP2102 serial adapter. The SiLabs adapter I used was indeed a CP2102 based design, so I wonder how they thought that what Serial adapter one is using affects this? I also tried with a TTL cable based on PL2303TA. I can't really see how the serial adapter could affect this unless it's connected incorrectly? I only connected GND, RX and TX...

Hi Jens,
Could you please post a photo of your set up with the Omega LED ON?
Thanks

@Michael-Xie48 I have something better - I have a working Onion2! Just like in this thread https://community.onion.io/topic/1159/omega2-almost-doa/2, somebody had done a really sloppy job of soldering the metal cap on my Onion2. Someone had spilled so much solder that the board was shipped out with a short! In the linked picture, you can see that the short is in the top corner, just above the SD card holder.

@Jens-Brynildsen Thanks for pointing out the issue. We apologize for the manufacturing defect and will address the issue with the manufacturer.

for curiosity (offtopic)... what functionality does the cover exactly have?
- Increase the printable space?
- some cooling effects?
- hiding hardware (
) ? - making it nice and shiny ?
@Jens-Brynildsen , you could may add the info about "electronic shortage" to the title ... so people will do faster their own second quality check.

@Luciano-S. It's to reduce RF-interference.
