hi I've just replaced a V3 SS that died on me (it was about 3 years old & is displayig no power light or anything so assume it's just died).

 

I purchased a replacemrnt, registered it, plugged it in & power light is lit but internet light just continues to flash. After a few hours it seems to give up & the power light also turns off. Router, cabling etc has not changed since my old one was plugged in so not sure what the problem is.

 

Any advice gratefully received

What's a "route cause"? Anything like the English-language "root cause", I wonder?

 

My SS sprang to life yesterday evening. It died again an hour later, displaying the error lights for "Your SS can't access the Vodafone system - please contact customer support" (who'd no doubt have spouted the usual drivel in fractured English and told me the problem would be solved in 24/48/72 hours). Turned the power off and on again this morning, and it worked for a while. Tried a "factory reset", following which it has been working for 2 hours now. I'm not holding my breath, though....

John..

Was you told to purchase a new one?

If not, Vodafone should not have done so as there is a known issue with these devices failing with the power lights out.

Please take s look at the thread below as you are entitled to claim a refund for your replacement.

I am surprised that no one has yet suggested this to you and willing to ignore the fact many others have been given refunds or new Free of Charge units.

It is important to report all failed SureSignal V3 using the links below to:
