My board is not booting.

Fernando

Hi!:

I have an UP board that after several months of uninterrupted use, is not booting now. It's is possible that the RTC battery was unpluged (I'm not sure). What I can say is:

1. eMMC is not shown as F7 boot option (despite it apears in Chipset>South Bridge eMMC: Unknown M52516...(14.5 GB) )
2. It always loads directly to the password prompt to enter BIOS.
3. It seems unable to enter to EFI Shell.
4. The date/time is lost. If I set it, it gets lost after power cycling. However the battery voltage is 3V, and it seems adequately connected.
5. Reseting BIOS by unpluging the battery doen't help.

I hope you could give me some advices to bring the board back to life.

Thanks for your help.

I was able to make the board operative again after following the instructions posted in this topic:

https://up-community.org/forum/general-discussion-up/935-up-board-without-rtc-battery-doesn-t-boot-from-emmc#2730

However, the BIOS is not preserving Date/Time and boot priority. Having into account that the RTC battery seems to be 3V, what else can I check?. Are there points on the board where I an check if the voltage is reaching its destination?.

Thanks.

Is there a working card?

Looks like the URL format has all changed. The one above would now be https://forum.up-community.org/discussion/935/up-board-without-rtc-battery-doesn-t-boot-from-emmc for the thread and https://forum.up-community.org/discussion/comment/2730/#Comment_2730 for the referenced post.

Hi @Chris ,

Is that discussion closed? If so, please redefine the title as [RESOLVED] My board is not booting.

Thank you

I had this issue today and I restored the BIOS setup and it worked again. Not sure when would be the next.
