Rns 510 keeps rebooting several times (@startup) after fw update?

[doylebros]

Tried the fw0900 downgrade. But as expected it didn't help.
The rns510 rebooted one time before starting up this morning.
Guess I'm out of options.... 

It's only a thought but could it be a electrical connection problem at the back of the set?

That is always a possibility but the reboots instantly occured after I did my first attempt updating to fw4020. So I guess not...

Maybe a 'guru' as EddieNL knows what my reboot problem is?
I've pm'ed him.

Yes, good chance Ed will have seen this fault before.

However, you've put a lot of effort in to trying to correcting this, if it's a firmware fault I would of expected one of the installs you've been through to of corrected it! That's why I wonder if there's another fault which coincidently happened a the same time as the original firmware install?

Eh, I'm getting frustrated just thinking about it. So what's next? There was a DIY about replacing the OEM drive with an SSD, but it included taking the RNS down to bits..  It might be better to have it repaired after all.

Did have this on mine but mine would not start up at all, just reboot all the time. Mine was down to the firmware that had not taken correctly. Downloaded from a different source and all was good. Hope this helps.
