Configuration: Dual D100's, Roll Axis AP, Garmin 496
I finally got around to doing the 5.4 upgrade and all was going relatively well until a user error or two and now I have a D100 that doesn't power up.
First I upgraded the non-master D100 with no real issues and followed the instructions to the letter. Then moved over to the master and upgraded the D100. When I started the upgrade, the non-master screen went to the the "Yellow Screen of Death". Didn't think anything of it. The master was successful but when I did the reload (as per instructions) to do the AP, it basically timed out the master went to the Yellow screen. Couldn't talk to either D100 from the laptop. Turned the power off and decided to let them discharge over night and try again (battery backup).
Came in the next day, and the screens came up fine. All showed 5.4 except the AP. Redid the Master, with the other D100 going to the yellow screen, and the AP updated just fine. The master rebooted, the DSAB status showed all the devices (slave showed OFFLINE). Couldn't get the slave to leave the yellow screen so I powered everything off and waited for the slave to drain. In 20 minutes it turned off.
Now comes my first mistake -- the whole process took quite awhile and I did NOT have a float charger on the battery. I figured I needed to try and start the plane. No joy, although there was some power. The slave D100 still did not power up. Shut everything down and went and bought a Battery Tender.
Came back a couple days later, Battery Tender shows green, plane starts with no issues. Still no slave D100. The master has a DSAB error on power-up. The DSAB status does not see the AP or other D100.
Update: the screen will flicker if I pull the breaker and push it back in. Also the DSAB config gives and error code of 3 and reports itself as standalone.
