N1: USB is not active [hardware defect]

[Stephan]

According to snailMail you just received my N1+Cable....

[Oliver]

Yep.
I will try to have a look at it tomorrow.

[Stephan]

Got my N1 back today without comment.
Same behaviour then before!

USB not active

What am I missing here?

[Oliver]

Oh no,
I'm sorry.
We'll send you a new cable today - we did test the Unleashed here, and it showed no problems.

can you test your Camera's USB port? ie use some software to tether the camera?

Thanks already and sorry for the trouble.

[Stephan]

Tethering works fine!

[Oliver]

New cables were shipped to you today. We added one for your D3 as well. Let me know if it works!

[Stephan]

Thanks, just got the two cables.

Sorry to say...the app still shows on both cameras (D800+D3) the same....USB is not active

I still suspect the N1, for me only possible point of failure...

Edit: To eliminate software issues on my iPhone 6+ (iOS 12.4.7) I also reinstalled the app...to no avail!

[Oliver]

:-(
Alright. We'll send you a replacement next week.

[Stephan]

The new N1 just arrived and ...Problem solved!
Worked straight with my "old" cable!

Big Thankyou to Foolography to replace a kickstarter N1 ( I know what that means...no buy, no warranty) after 19 months!

What should I send back to you? old N1+MicroCable you sent to me?

[Oliver]

I'm very glad it's working!!

Sure, send back the Unleashed and any duplicate cable you have.

Please send it to
Foolography GmbH
Liselotte-Herrmann-Str. 36
10407 Berlin


You can just send it as a letter in a padded envelope, no need for packaging or DHL - it's broken anyway ;-)

Have a good weekend, and enjoy your Unleashed!
