We have 4 Visio tv's acting as monitors with 4 compute sticks in them so we can display stats etc. 2 of them now fail to turn on at all. They are plugged into the HDMI on the TV, with power into an electric outlet. I will note that on all 4 of the compute sticks - the power connector is very loose and if you try to move it frequently they reboot.
Nothing comes on the display at all - so I can't try updating the BIOS or anything like that. I've tried one of the two - attached to another system, tried a power supply from a working compute stick all to no avail. When they are plugged into power both have a blue indicator that comes on. But when you try to power it on nothing.
Any ideas or are these needing to be RMA'd? They're less than 6 months old.

Seeing as how they're less than 6 months old you might as well RMA them. My track record with the 1st generation sticks is just as bad as yours. I'm assuming that the two working sticks display on the same monitor your testing the faulty sticks on.
I had the same idea. These sticks would great for displaying stats or presentations on a screen. Shame about the execution.

What model(s) are these? The SC and especially CC models are (IMHO) much more robust than the original FC model.
I agree that RMA is the right next-step...

Unless you have some other ideas that I can try - yes i guess the RMA is the best route. What information do I need to get for you to RMA them.
Thank you,

I have not yet - I was doing some additional testing. One of the 2 will actually go on now - however the issue appears to be the micro-usb power port. No matter what power cable I use (we have about 8 of these compute sticks in house - it's loose.
I will contact them today.

We have multiple compute sticks in our office, and tried a different power adapter that appeared to be more secure. I've noticed that as a rule the micro USB power adapters tend to be very loose. I then tried that power adapter on the second one that wasn't working but no luck.
