I am in need of some help from the forum. I've used my HM 3.0 for many a successful smoke. Until one smoke about 3 weeks ago. I had everything set up to go, and the HM in a zip lock bag to keep it dry. Well it started to rain. I got up, fired up my BGE, and plugged in my HM. Unfortunately, it had gotten quite humid inside the bag and water had condensed on the board. It worked intermittently, and then stopped working. I put it in a bag of rice to let it dry out. And I tried to fire it up again.
The Raspberry Pi turns on and the power LED is on. I get the red & yellow LEDs on the HM board to come on. But it never seems to boot up or do anything. Nothing on the display.
If I unhook the RPi, and plug in the power, the LED lights up with solid blocks, but doesnt do much more (and probably shouldnt).
I am trying to figure out how I salvage my controller. Is there a way to diagnose if my issues lie in the Raspberry Pi or the HM 3.0 board? If I need to replace one or the other, or replace some components on the HM board, I'll do that. Just looking for some help in trying to diagnose my problems.
Help! Thanks in advance!
