Strange. Have you opened the units to verify the connections?

Indeed, you can check out my pretty pictures further up in the thread to see the inside Smiley


It sounds like to me your software image loaded is having issues, none of the units I got exhibited those problems, they were just a pain to figure out the DHCP issue. I will drop them a note about your unit, see if we can get you some help.

Since the other thread was locked for some reason we can continue the conversation with this new thread.

Hey nexsus99. Since you live so close just go back to Matt and swap out for a unit that is working fine since none of the others have issues. When he gets a reply back from BA he can fix that unit and ship it out to the next customer or add it to his mining operation instead of some new one. That way everybody is happy. Very simple solution. Glad I'm able to help here.

Nexus99 isnt having problems, you might want to double check what you posted. nexiswalk is the one with the problems, and he did not receive that unit from me.

My mistake. I though nexus and nexis were the same guys.

They've as much as admitted that they aren't processing any trouble tickets right now, due to the huge amount of traffic (more than 300 tickets per day). That really sucks for the RMA cases. If one of the forum mods at ecointalk pointed you here, maybe they misunderstood your problem.

nope the actual black arrow support desk pointed me here (though I had already read this thread before their suggestion)

Dear customer,

You telling me that BA can't even take the time to reply to a simple question but takes the time to hunt down then link to a post on this forum to help a paying customer out? Looks to me like there's more than meets the eye in that thread that is now locked.

I attempted to reply to the thread a little while ago too... no dice. I set it as 'self moderated' but I can't unlock it. I can still delete posts in there though.

I wonder then who locked it. You were doing an ok job informing BA customers.

Only a mod could lock it. That's fine though. The thread has served it purpose of showing what the packaging and device look like.

Only a mod? I locked this thread once than unlocked it myself. Am I a mod now? Does it pay? What is my job discription? Who do I apply my application to?

Yep, you are a thread Mod. I'm afraid you will have to pay yourself though :-)

If you check other threads started by other folks you will see you cant lock them.. or delete posts,  etc.

Anyone know if the X-1 came with a ethernet cable?

No they do not.

I ordered these (back in Feb and some more last week)
