Received a new T3 today which was a replacement for an older model. I think it may be DOA. I plugged it in and the light was flashing green/red and then went solid green. I tried on two different TVs with different HDMI cables and signal not detected. I believe there is no output from the HDMI on the T3.
I do have a T1,T1 plus, T2 and a T3 and have never experienced something like this before. Typically it come right on and follow the set up instructions.

Any suggestion or experience in correcting?

Thanks

certainly sounds like a hdmi/power issue, yea.
So how to interupt the power to perhaps kick into gear?
Maybe insert a USB device and then power up the T3.. if no change unplug the USB while power is still on and reinsert it.
Do same with HDMI if no changes.
If still no change then you could try a Manual reset.

But one question. Do you still have the correct power supply being used on tat T3 ?
The T3 uses the 12V adapter as apposed to other Dreamlink models, which use the 5v adapter.

Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestions but no luck. Yes the correct power supply used. Just seems that there is no video output.
i have reached out to the seller for warranty claim

Thanks again.
