    Default flashback 3 box will not power up

    Hi everyone.
    been looking around for a while now

    bought some stuff it was working great .. I shut it all down and now today
    when hooking the FB3 box up to usb it doesnt do anything.. no ding.. no green light.
    tried new usb cables and tried it on two computers.

    would it be safe to there is something wrong with the flashbox box?
    anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you.

    The best idea I can provide is to contact Pangolin; http://www.pangolin.com/contact/. They have always provided me with great support and will know the most about the device.

    Given the reliability of the FB3 I would suspect your USB port 5v output.

    the usb ports power everything else i try to run off them.

    the fb3 will not light green off any usb port.

    Is thye FB3 an SE that has been boxed up by someone? If so, might be worth checking the pair of holes on the board that set it for usb power and make sure they are still bridged. On mine I use header pins and a jumper - which I guess could always pop off if knocked.

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.
