Radion Gen 3 Pro Problems

[peterpaul]

I had 4 Radions Gen 3 Pros that had all 3 buttons blinking red.

One was an easy fix where I swapped out a rf module with a working one.

Before I really start trouble shooting. Any had previous experiences with fixing radion gen 3s?

Nice !!!

After troubleshooting. The problem lies with the main board. I don't think there is anything I can do. Called Ecotech and they offered me an upgrade option. Will consider options.

There's always an option to send it to me for a board level repair

I know one RF card is not working.

One unit the 3 buttons are blue and the fan is on when plugged in but cannot connect to ecosmartlive

One unit the 3 button are blinking red and green. The lights go on for just a moment then only 4 white legs and two green legs remain on. I tried to do a factory reset but still same result.

The 3rd unit is just dead.

What would u recommend?

Just send them all over, I'll sort them all out. I don't see anything particular critical from your description.

I also swab parts of my ecotech lights and got some working units out of it.
