Tootall68, my front led doesnt work either. The led has not been soldered properly or been knocked off. Its so small to try and solder on. Ive ordered new iron tips which are smaller and also messaged furturebit asking for the specs for the LED so I can try and replace it.

Did see a couple others mentioned same thing.

Having frustration fun.

The monitor issue was my biggest problem - nothing I have would work until I got the $150 portable 1080p.  Weird.

Also, others have reported being unable to "find" or "see" the ipaddress - outside of the dashboard where it shows plain as day.  Also Weird.

Yea its all Batch 1 fun. Hopefully a good software update will sort most things. I plugged it straight into my asus 27” monitor (only a year old) and worked fine. Will only come up as 1080p so looks kinda odd compared to my 1440p main pc but still it worked atraight away. IP scanner detected the unit aswell, although it came up as an HTTP address unlike anything else on my network. Once i expanded the option it was designated as futurebit.

EDIT:-

managed to file down a solder tip and resolder the Front LED. Turns out I had it on backwards the first time *facepalm*.


GT_Addict:  Did you have to disassemble the unit to do the soldering?   My Batch 1 Full now also has the detached LED issue?
