Calling any BOP 2.0 owners

[Spandangler]

I have a problem with it not booting.
Screen comes on. All lights on boards.
The computer won’t boot.
I’ve read it could be the battery or need to go into the bios settings and do some witchcraft which I don’t understand.
Be interested to hear if anyone else has had boot issues and how you overcame them.
Not my machine so not terribly familiar with how it’s supposed to work.
Thanks all
Gaz

As far as I'm aware they are just a mini pc that runs on Linux, so when you start it up there should be a bios check screen like on any other PC that will highlight any errors

Try a new bios battery. Cr2032 usually. Connect a keyboard up to mini pc and a screen and reset bios settings.

Not very helpful I know, but I changed the battery and Tony reset the BIOS on his BoP2 and it still won't boot on power up, only if you press the power button. It also reboots occasionally mid-game.
Not sure if the PC is the problem, or the power switch module.

Thanks Mike. I’ll have a tinker soon when I get a chance. Fingers crossed it’s the battery

A computer rebooting is going to be a pc problem.
Is there any kind of software restore disc?
