Clicking NXT syndrome fixed
Pweehh… Just thought I bricked my LEGO NXT brick for a while there. I left it on and connected to USB. Went back to my PC after about 10 minutes, and the brick was turned off. When I turned it back on the screen was just blank, and the NXT brick went “click”, “click”, “click”, … about 3-4 times a second. Pulled out all cables, and the batteries. Left them out for a couple of minutes, tried reinserting the batteries and pushed the ON button: “click”, “click”, “click”, … Uh oh. The same happened when trying to hardware reset the unit. “Click”, “click”, “click”, … Now that’s one expensive paper-weight.
After googling in a temporary state of full and utter panic, so complete and dire that no amount of friendly letters stating “Don’t panic” would have ever helped out, I found a tip claiming that reinstalling the 1.03 firmware would undo the damage caused by unknown means.
And it sure did. The NXT woke back up right away. YES!
