My MCU1 died in a bizzare way an hour ago.. Anyone seen this?

[Ande]

It became unresponsive, and I thought it rebooted.
I waited... much longer than the usual time it takes to display the logo.
Then I realized nothing was going to happen, I did a two-thumbs reboot , I can hear a little change in the noise from the speakers.. no logo.

I checked the wifi accesspoint the car uses, and it is associated.
The phone app appears to have connection to the car, but is unable to actually do anything, vent roof , start charging, etc.. nothing really works, but the app does not tell there is an error.

Rebooted both displays/computers twice, the MCU1 is just black, the IC reboots normally.
The car seems drivable.
moving brightness scrollwheel displays -5% brightness, do it is not only black but apparently it is absorbing photons too
This was an hour ago, I went out to the car since then, and no change..

Anyone has seen this before?

It's not quite dead yet.

It's about dead, sounds like. I'd make sure to charge up to 90% in case charging becomes disabled like it did on mine, since vampire drain will still happen. Don't park in any place that's too hard to get a tow out of.

Sounds like the gateway is booting up fine (car is drive able) but the cid isn't booting (no mcu functionality). Time to get an mcu2!!!

Yep - all these folks know what they are talking about. And you need to see if you can charge the battery while its may still allow you.

Is this the eMMC failure then ? - somehow I imagined it would be different.
No, it says charging scheduled, but it did not charge this night at all.
I hoe SC has replacements.. it is still under warranty - with some luck I get a faster one.

Too bad you probably can’t get the MCU 2 upgrade (AP1, Europe) but yeah this has been often been a topic on the upgrade thread (how MCU 1 die). Best of luck!
