Solo 2 DL Flashing Red

DRLane · 12-26-2020, 05:45 PM

Of course, in prep for track day tomorrow my AIM Solo has decided to crap out. When I put the power button the upper left led simply flashes red. The screen never populates or hints at turning on.

Holding down the power button in conjunction with the button adjacent seems to force it off. But once I put the power again it's back to flashing. This is both plugged into the car CAN, the wall charger, or via battery.

Anyone have any ideas?

I let mine sit for a while and the battery died. Took a few hours before it would turn on again, did you have it unplugged for a while then try to power it up again? How long have you let it sit and charge?

Only thing I can think of is the battery is dead(low) or if it sat for too long the battery could be permanently dead.

Fair, I'll leave it connected snd see what happens. It stays in the car plugged into CAN. I'm sure it drained as it loves to power on from time to time...

Just borrowed a buddies Solo2 for tomorrow. Was also complete dead but powered up immediately upon plugging into the wall charger. So I'm thinking something else is going on with mine.

Thanks T tsk94. Oddly enough I found that if I held different combinations of buttons down the light would flash at different speeds.

:

Kept it plugged in and after a long while it powered on. Phew... Must've been completely wiped. Which is odd as it sits in the car connected 24/7 without issue.

Updated the firmware to latest (November release), and updated configurations for tomorrow. Cheers gang!
