It's the cable and/or the usb power supply/port!, use a genuine 2.0a/2.4a usb cable(one that came with your phone) and plug the cable directly into a pc(not a hub!)usb 3.0 ports usually work better than 2.0 or a genuine cell phone charger rated at 2.0a/2.4a, low voltage, hubs etc can cause issues, I changed my cable and tried other ports and everything worked fine, I also thought mine was broke!

@fossette I just got the serial to work, I tried forcing the new firmware, and even downgrading, and then re-updating both via web and serial, the light contines to blink, it never stops, the web interface goes down after 5 mins and back to the pic above, passwords/wifi passwords never stick on either the broken or working device

My Omega2+ console page isn't loading after fireware update(intitall setup), my other one is fine, the light on the Omega keeps blinking, reset seems to not work and can't connect via serial(have drivers n putty(win8.1), any suggestions??
