My Duo no longer loads Enigma - stuck on "Loading": ViX turns turns, then for 1 second the screen goes blank and then all over again.
I did no changes of any kind. Just used it for watching/recording.
It still has 2.4 image, possibly build 213 after updates (I see that build on my Vu+ Ultimo, I assume they both have the same)
I have disconnected everything - did not help.
Opened the box and disconnected the hard drive - it was hot. The bottom of Vu+ was hot. Some suspicious smell of something burnt - mostly from the area of the card reader (I am not using any cards)
Without the hard drive - exactly the same, but it does not get hot.
The same situation was a few weeks ago - I also restarted Enigma and Loading was going in cycles, but after switching Duo off, it finally loaded fully and was working until today, when I again manually restarted Enigma.
Recently I noticed some deterioration: hanging when trying to start recording (but not always) - sometimes a part of the screen remaining still showing picture while some log dump around.
For a longer time I had this issue: if I switch off Duo, I need to wait about 5 minutes before switching it on again, otherwise I only have a red dot in the upper left corner of its display.
When waited long enough, the red dot initially is still present, but the text as well, the red dot later goes away. And the hard drive is being tortured at the beginning for some time.
So, all in all, Duo probably did not like that hard drive. But it recorded fine to it otherwise.
But now is the situation that either it is physically damaged, or its software corrupt.
So, I guess, I can try to flash in some image first. Is there any difference if I use 3.0 or 2.4?
3.0 does not require a different bootloader or something?
On the other hand, if it is physically damaged, flashing a new image might end unfinished in a non-recoverable state.
While after fixing it, it could work straight away with the current image.
But in order to eliminate a software problem, I guess, it is still better to try to re-flash an image first....
