Hello Ricardo

I just received two Heltec V3 They would not load on the Heltec V3 and the flash caused it to loose display , It also did the same on the Lilygo T3S3 . The Lilygo is still down

I did get the Heltec to load using the Heltec V3.2 flash and the display did return.

I connected to the configuration page and entered my configuration added my network and all seemed to go well until I hit save,
The Heltec display went black and back on again as if it had loaded and rebooted, The Display Read Lora APRS and some other information

I've attached the display

Thank You and 73

Hi, can you flash it again (deleting all data) and save only your Callsign and one Wifi SSID + Password (to test if this runs well)?

I tried it and it took only the information I entered, I was able to login to the IP address, But when I added anything else on the configuration page it went back to the previous display that I attached and won't connect to the ip address that I entered, I'm back to only callsign and wifi ssis and password now... next step please!

what are the next mods you did? APRS-IS on and also APRS passcode?

(avoid any "" on any text box)

maybe describe all that you need to activate to see where it may be the error

I was able to enter each configuration section at a time and did a backup, All seemed to be fine until I got the APRS-IS connection settings. It wanted to hang up and not connected..I disabled the APRS-IS and jumped to beacon and set and saved, It stuck and I went back to enable the APRS-IS and it took the settings and allowed enable and beacon. It also allowed digipeat and Lora tx and rx.. All failed again when I tried to change the tx and rx frequency from 433 mhz to 916.500..Next Please...Thank You!

Yes it is running, It locks up and gives me the first display when I try to change the frequency from 433 mhz to 916 mhz
How or where do I select and put the tx and rx frequency for the i-gate?

I was able to enter all that you see in the config file, I got to the frequency config and it took me back to the original display lockup!

"91650000" is only 91MHz , you are missing a ZERO, right?
