toy4x4 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I had a controller I could not get to talk to the network. I tried multiple cables and had the same results with every cable. All cables would work find connected to my second controller without issue. While troubleshooting, I noticed I could get intermittent conncetivity and finally narrowed it down to the RJ45 connector. If I push up on the bottom of the connector, it would work and I wiggled the cable and had not issues. I placed a cut off tie wrap between the socket and the board and it works fine for now. The strange part is when I went to plug in the second controller. the socond one started showing the same symptoms. I ended up sticking a tie wrap between the socket and board on that one and all seems to work. I'll be opening a ticket with LOR on both controllers but wondered if anyone else has had thos problem.

dgrant Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I had this happening to me as well. The wire fingers of the RJ45 connector became slightly damaged. They were pushed in somehow. I very carefully pulled them back up using a tweezer and super small hook tool such as a dental instrument. Once they were back in position, communication was restored to normal. No clue how they got messed up as I'm normally very careful with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmadrive Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I had kind of the same issue with a new controller.. Well relatively new... It was my backup.. LOR sent me some jacks to fix it since I said I could and when I pulled it all apart I found a bad solder connection to the board. Reflowed that connection and it works fine.

eurbani Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have had this problem on three boxes. Two were purchased during the Spring sale last year (2013) and one was purchased in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
