    Hi all,

    Since I received my board I see problems: udoo quad boots randomly.
    Sometimes it boots normally, sometimes iI have to push power off/on 1-2-3-4 or 5 times or more.. until I see it on the network and ping it, or acces by Putty, and also have a HDMI display.
    When it fails, I have black screen, no ping, and of course no ssh via putty.
    I tried several SD cards, several distros.
    I have an AC / DC adapter 12V 2A which is originally made for external HDD.
    The light is always solid green.
    I tried waiting 10 mns before 2 attempts ...same problem.

    Do you have any ideas ?

    Hi fabulou$,

    several people had the same problem in the past few months. Turns out that they had an hardware problem (watchdog). To be sure please ask the same question in our CustomerCare section http://www.udoo.org/customer-care/, you'll receive further instructions.
