@Chris-Stratton , thanks for showing up this. Count this according my missing experience with this kind of Problems. Nevertheless at first I thought, that the message came from the driver or the expansion dock. Afterwards I recognized that there should be a sort of connection to the Omega 2+, because the memory was displayed. On the other hand - compared with other monitor / screenshots after an Omega - restart, my picture was total different ... :fleur-de-lis:

Dear Community,

A big THX for your support and information so far. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem. Nevertheless now my (at least for me) the central question:

How do I get a working Omega 2+?

• send the "old" one back to get an replacement?
• somehow update the actual one (what is needed to do so; actually I´ve at home only the Omega and a expansion dock)?
• order a new one?
• leave the path of Omega (worst case) ...

Thx in advance,
kind regards,

Jürgen

THX,
yes, I found in the 11th strip two holes ans some solder. But how does this help me further? What shall be the next step? Contact the Onion team?

Thank you in advance,
Jürgen

Thx in advance,

thx, I´ll produce the pics as soon as possible.

Hello 2 all!

Yesterday my new Onion Omega 2+ with expansion dock arrived (Kickstarter edition) .
Unfortunately the Omega seems to be "dead" . The "amber" LED does not light up at all but the RGB LED on the dock just flickers when switching on the board and then stays OFF.

Checking according the help information on "help omega2 not working ..." did not help:

• Using different USB cables did not change anything.

• Using the expansion dock I connected to different power supplies (MacBook pro, iPhone power, USB Hub, ...) did not change anything.

• The Omega 2+ fits tight into its base on the dock ... (see pictures and Terminal output)

• Checking the 3,3 V sources on the dock showed available power (3,3V) on the expected outlets

• Also the power on the soldered pins of the Omega 2+ is as expected 3,3V ...

• The Terminal monitored no connection to the Omega ...:

  Board: Onion Omega2 APSoC DRAM: 128 MB

According to my opinion, the dock works but not the Omega 2+.
Is there any help?

Thank you very much in advance,

Jürgen
