Fonzie Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Purchased a Nanoped version 1 back in February. It took me a while to figure out how to use it effectively. Lurking on this forum for help eventually led to success so I recently purchased a printed case to class it up. Worked for about 3 days, then died. Near the end of a HDXs transmission it just quit and hung. It no longer has drives. I think it still has the 32K memory as SIZE shows 13928 bytes of stack; 24488 bytes of program space. I took it out of the case and inspected all the soldering and traces as best I could and purchased and installed a new card reader all to no avail. My questions are: 1. Does anyone offer repair service? 2. Is the 32k if it does work of any value when TIPI arrives? 3. How could I verify if the RS232 functions?

Stuart Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 You bought it from Jaime Malilong who makes them and sells them on eBay? Give him a shout through eBay - I understand he's very approachable regarding repairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Reseating the cardreader on the Nano helped me more than one time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yep and yep to both responses above. And be sure your TI's edge connector is super clean Fonzie. Q-Tip to both sides with electrical contact cleaner, rubbing alcohol, De-Oxit, Radio Shack tuner cleaner, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I am sacrificing some fried chicken tonight so the gods will favor your NanoPEB recovery. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmusr Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 2. Is the 32k if it does work of any value when TIPI arrives? I don't think the TIPI will connect to a nanoPEB, at least not without some custom made adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndp630 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think the first TiPi version is made to connect to the 32K sidecar expansion designed by JediMatt42. I believe the future intention is to make a version of it that goes in a PEB slot. If I’m wrong about that, it won’t be the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift838 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 it's possible that your CF card has become corrupt. Do you have another CF card you can write the NanoPEB image volumes to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I also would recommend trying a different PS. These tend to frequently create pesky problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I don't think the TIPI will connect to a nanoPEB, at least not without some custom made adapter. you'd need a y splitter cable for the sidecar, and some sort of edge to pin connector adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 My nano is in the mail on the way for repair. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I tried a different cf cards but that didnt help. I do have a question, though. Should the start screen indicate that a nanopeb is attached on start-up? I know it wasnt after it quit working but I never paid attention to know for sure if some indication on the start screen was there when it was working. Would it show (if there is one) in the absence of a cf card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 yes, should be like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks, Schmitzi. I will look for it when my unit returns but it wont say F18A...yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks, Schmitzi. I will look for it when my unit returns but it wont say F18A...yet. Anyone know if it's the NanoPEB saying "F18A" - is that the version of the NanoPEB that includes a boot delay to enable the F18A to initialise properly?

Fonzie Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Didnt mean to confuse anyone... the reason my Nanopeb will not show F18A yet is because I do not have an F18A on the console where I will use the Nanopeb...yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 hmm, regrding this, I think you don´t need a mounted F18A to get that screen. It depends on the NanoPEB version (v1 & F18-"patched" ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think these are the given versions ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
