Hello everyone, I was running my node on v.0.38 with a raspberry pi 4 with 4GB and a 1TB HDD. I updated it with the lastest version and since then I haven’t been able to connect to it, nor through the browser nor through ssh. In fact, it’s not just that I can’t connect to it, it doesn’t seem to be running at all. Up until that moment the read/write LED in the HDD was blinking at all times as long as the node was on, since the attempted update it doesn’t blink any more, so the Raspberry pi is not reading/writing anything. I attempted to reboot it by unplugging and plugging the power source, didn’t solve the issue. I tried to re-flash the sd card with the latest version and balena etcher wasn’t able to complete the validation step (it would flash successfully but then crash during validation, this happened several times). I nonetheless tried to put the sd back in the raspberry and switch on the node, and the same happened as before: the raspberry seems to start, all leds blink for a while (including the HDD) but after a minute it all goes dark and does nothing again. Not accessible via umbrel.local, neither with SSH. Any idea how I can fix it? I don’t mind to resync, altough it would be great if I didn’t have to, but most of all I want to have the node running again. Thanks a lot! ---

Hey, sorry about that! What hardware are you using (drive and power supply)? I would be useful for us if you were able to get the logs. Open a terminal (Powershell on Windows, Terminal app on macOS) and execute: ```auto ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local "~/umbrel/scripts/debug --upload" ``` The prompted password is your dashboard password or “moneyprintergobrrr” (without quotes). ---

Hi Lounes! thanks a lot for the quick reply. I’m using an official raspberry pi power supply and as drive I have a 1TB HDD (Toshiba HDTB410EK3AA) connected via USB 3.0 I have tried the command you suggest in powershell, I get “ssh: could not resolve hostname umbrel.local: host unknown”. I took care of switching off my VPN before, just in case. ---

Hi Aaron, as I replied to Lounes, it did not work. My node is not reachable via ssh. ---

Is your computer well connected to the same local network as your Pi? Are you able to find the IP of your Umbrel using Angry IP Scanner? ---

Hi Lounes, yes, the computer is well connected. In general, every single piece of hardware and connection at home is exactly in the same way as it has been in the last months while I was able to connect to my node without problems. Angry IP Scanner does find the umbrel node in the network (I tried to attach a picture below, I hope you can see it). However the node is non-responsive via ssh. Even if Angry IP scanner finds it the result of the ssh comand is still “ssh: could not resolve hostname umbrel.local: host unknown” ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/1X/6f2c733bbea4f2b501c95db4d25699511662fe3c.png) ---

Hello, I just wanted to give an update that tinkering a little with formating the SD card and balena I managed to 100% successfully reflash the SD card. It changed nothing in the situation, but at least now I know the problem is not with the OS flashed in the SD card. My node is still not reachable in any way. Not by web, not by SSH. And even angry IP explorer doesn’t find it anymore. It’s like the node simply doesn’t boot. Can anyone please help me? ---

Hi again, so I just wanted to add some additional information after I have followed the steps in the [[GUIDE] Umbrel.local - not accessible - what to do](http://community.umbrel.com/t/guide-umbrel-local-not-accessible-what-to-do/845) (awesome guide, by the way). - I entered my router configuration and the node was visible there. I assigned a fixed IP to the node. - I added the node IP to the hosts file - I tried to SSH again and got the info that the device was pinging back an ECDSA fingerprint that contradicted the info saved in the list of known hosts - I found said list of known hosts and deleted the content And now I finally can ssh my node!!! I executed the debug command, I paste below the result.
