So [1] of my A1 Mini’s with attached AMS Lite randomly started doing a false reboot?.. I’ve caught it in the process and the screen flickers then plays the boot up melody but I’ve been using it as normal and nothing else is different.
Wondering if this is happening with anyone else?
Wasn’t like this last week and it’ll keep doing it at random intervals.
my friend who has a1 has same issue
My brand new A1 rebooted twice in middle of initial setup (during calibrations). every boot I had to start over, it forgot wifi and account.
to solve I only did voice dampening so I got past the setup and then it retained settings.
after fw update I’ve had it reboot once, this morning I woke up to the chime. I left it on overnight, not printing.
no edit option here? oh well, I forgot to say I also updated fw to latest after the (Shorter) setup completed. so it rebooted on latest.
I’ve not had it happen mid print. yet.
Check the last threads related to the mid-print freezing. Your problem looks similar, your printer randomly reboots.
I had it happen once 2 days ago, I was trying to get the printer to recognize a filament.
I think it got confused & rebooted.
But my issue isn’t during a print… I’ve been sus the past week so I’ve completed 3 prints total and this particular printer sits with me in my office behind me and it’ll startle me because it’ll randomly just start singin…
I wish there was a volume adjustment versus either on or off for the tones. I even had it off for 24hrs and did a calibration but it still continued to play the boot melody and there’s no timing it because it’ll happen in random intervals.
Where I am, we regularly get dips in the mains power when neighborhood A/C units switch on. Depending on their power supply, the printer might not be able to ride out the dip and not have the dip reset it.
No idea if that’s what you guys are seeing or not but systems spontaneously rebooting could be a general power issue with power supplies that can’t ride out longer dips. If you see your lights dim occasionally, that is another clue.
If that’s what is going on, a good power conditioner might fix it or you might need a UPS. If this is what’s happening and you go the UPS route, you need one on the beefier side. When the printers heat, they pull a lot of power.
Mine has to be on UPS this time of year. It’s the only way I can leave my printer printing as lightning storms roll through. But haven’t had any spontaneous reboots either.
All 4 of my printers have their own UPS. They are pretty much a must in Florida.
That has been remedied:
Ain’t that a fact. I’m just inland from Cocoa Beach, the good news is, if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.
I agree and have seen this instance happen to a couple friends printers every so often.
I have wattage meters/breakers attached to all of my printers, paying close attention to this specific printer I couldn’t notice any noticeable difference or massive dips in wattage usage… When the screen goes black then plays the boot melody the wattage didn’t dip at all, if anything maybe 0.01w…
I’m actively tracking it now and it’s been 15hrs since the last instance and I had a 8hr print going. I’ll keep the topic open for updates for another couple days to see if it persists and if I notice any changes.
Yeah, the folks with UPS units pretty well shot my suggestion about power sags down. But I’ve seen similar things happen because of sags so mentioned it just in case.
The cloud certificate issue seems to be the root cause it seems.
We get pretty noticeable sags from our neighbor’s A/C unit when it kicks in though. The neighborhood groups us onto small ground mount transformers and we tend to have outsized effects on each other. It seemed plausible enough but no cigar.
