New Meshtastic Wio Tracker Pro Dead

Just received this and it worked for about an hour. Then it gave me critical fault #3. I’ve updated the firmware and done a factory reset and the critical fault remains. Not receiving any nodes.
Has anyone else seen this? Not sure what else to do besides ask for a new one.

Thanks
Rich

never heard of it but i will forward to see if someone can check on it

I am having the same problem. Just got a pro kit on amazon. played with it was working great now it says critical fault #3

Same issue here. Ran without fault on OEM flash but when I flashed it with latest Meshtastic 2.6.11.60 I have the CRITICAL FAULT #3.
Tried flashing with unstable and stable versions.
cheers

I don’t think there’s a fix for this. Seeed has some quality control issues. Did you buy it from a distributor or directly from them? If you bought it direct, which I did, it’s gonna take a long time to get a replacement.sorry

funny how my works just fine… no firmware updates or anything… just charge… turn on and work… SMH

Funny? It means yours isn’t broken.

I bought it direct. I have bought other items from them that have been great, eg the Indicator with meshtastic, an ocilloscope etc
I think I will see how the next firmware plays with it. ‘My’ one (tried using another word for ‘my’ and got flagged not allowed…try guess,interesting) does still work in that it see nodes and can send via ph. Its just the menu scroll left & right doesnt cycle properly.
Cheers

So you havent broken it yet by putting Meshtastic on it :wink: the flash it comes with is very limited. when you do, stick to Stable versions.
