CompactRIO unusual error status LED flashing continuously

[TrabW]

Hi,

I have a cRIO 9014 controller with an error i can't solve.

After re-installing LV 8.5 on my laptop MAX could see the controller but with the VISA and NI-RIO error. I wanted to obtain the IP address from the DHCP server (before i used the static IP address without any problems), rebooted the controller and the status LED started flashing continuously every 1 second. (unrecoverable error or corrupted flash memory card)

I rebooted the controller several times with IP reset but LED is still flashing. Also in MAX i can't see the controller anymore so reformatting controller  is not possible.

Firewall is off, crossover cable is connected, IP of host is ok but no cRIO in MAX

Found a similar problem on the forum http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=238333&query.id=24781#M238333 but it didn't solve my problem unfortunately.

Thanks for your help!

Hello TrabW,

Thank you for your post on our webforum.

Can you try to start up the controller in safe mode? Is it possible to ping the controller? Please try the default IP address and the one you entered (in case the controller didn't reset the IP). Please let me know the results,

Best regards,

Hello Martijn,

Rebooting the controller in safe mode has no effect. The LED starts flashing again immediately.

I just tried to ping the controller but as a return i get request timed out.

It seems my cRIO doesn't want to talk to my PC anymore at all...
