Hi,

I've never encountered the USB being fried but the USB flash drive failures are quite often nowadays.
Try to replace it with a new one with capacity >= 4Gb. Just plug it in and your probe will reinitialize it.

Do not expect your probe online immediately after it.  Please give it some time because it requires a
full reinitializing of the probe firmware.

What does that mean?  I can try reseating the USB again, but if that doesn't work, it could be the USB is fried?

Can you send the SOS DNS packets?

I too have a probe that won't come online after being online for months:
https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/17879/#!tab-general

I did the reset trick:
I've stopped the probe, removed the USB drive, started the probe, waited
5 minutes and inserted the USB stick again. The probe comes up but via
the WebGUI it shows offline.
The IP is pingable so I am at a loss of what I should now do to get it
back into the on-line mode.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Hank
