Re: MiSTer Intermittent Bootup

What happens if you power up with HDMI disconnected? Could be getting votagee flowing back on that, causing power issues? I know a lot of people have put in CEC strippers to solve HDMI-related power strippers. My MiSTer can't be plugged into my HDMI switch because it draws power somehow and lights up the MiSTer even when off. There is no change wi...

Re: MiSTer Intermittent Bootup

Just a thought: what happens to the LEDs when no sd card is present? That might help diagnose whether it could be sd card/socket related or not When there is no SD Card present the LEDs are identical to a failed boot, except the "HPS User" LED remains dimly lit. When SD Card is present the HPS User LED is momentarily dimly lit and then e...

Re: MiSTer Intermittent Bootup

Did you try to move the DIP switches a few times and making sure they are in the right position when you are done? I had a similar problem, I wiggled each switch 4 times to be sure they were back to where they are supposed to be and everything went back to normal. Don't forget to do it with power off. I did exercise the DIP switches multiple times...

Re: MiSTer Intermittent Bootup

I am starting to think the issue lies within the DE10-Nano board, as I have removed all other components and reformatted 3 different SD cards without any change in the issue. MiSTer works great, but still takes anywhere from 1-30 power cycles to properly boot and it seems completely random. I have not yet measured the power supply output, but it is...

Re: MiSTer Intermittent Bootup

I am currently having this same issue. Dip switches are in proper configuration, and I tried cycling them all a few times and no luck. Sometimes I have to cycle the in-line power switch 10-15 times before it will boot, but when it does finally boot it works flawlessly. I have tried multiple in-line switches, and also bypassing the switch completely...
