Sensecap can not be powered off

[WW1RH]

Good morning, I received my Meshtastic T1000E sensecap and set it up with the app. It seemed to be working, and then later in the day the green light became bright and steady and says disconnected from the app. Now the unit will not power off and I can not do any thing with it.

Mine did similar, but it turns out it was stuck in DFU mode. When your LED is solid, try connecting via cable to a PC and see if you can see the device mapped as a drive (which would confirm DFU mode). To get out of this mode I had to re-flash the firmware and the auto reboot worked.

Happened with me, I just left it to run out of juice

This solved it for me: https://buymeacoffee.com/digitalrancher/sensecap-stuck

After several attempts, I resolved the issue by pressing and holding the membrane button while reconnecting the charging cable. Within a few seconds, the LED returned to its normal blinking pattern, allowing the Android app to successfully connect to the device once again. I have also heard that you may need to connect, disconnect and reconnect the cable for success.
