Loud Noise, Vibration, No App Connection

ajayresika

I bought my Squareoff exactly a year ago. Today, it started making a loud sound inside and vibrating, and its not connecting to the app. I have been very careful with it. always on a chess table, covered, hardly ever moved. Any idea what might be going on, and how to fix it?

I have the Kingdom Set, and the 35v1 firmware version.

ajayresika could you please retry connecting the board to the app? Kindly request you to please message us via the in-app chat support. This way we would be able to get your recent logs to get a better insight. 🙂

I have a similar problem with regards to the loud noise and vibration, however mine does seem to connect to the app. it tries to update new firmware however it’s been trying for 30 minutes or so. When was the last time you did a firmware update, because my suspicion is that is the culprit for both of us.

I should also add that i just got my board for Christmas, so it is brand new, no games played yet

pawelciucias I’m having the same issue with the board I received yesterday. Have you managed to fix it?

ajayresika

i cannot connect squareoff to the app. My firmware is 35v1. I am not sure if its the latest or not. I sent a message from in-app, but not sure how useful that will be without being able to connect to the board.

franco-simon please try to update your board again. This should resolve the issue. However, if it persists, please write back to me. 😀

pawelciucias

ajayresika

no, its not resolved. the issue is the same. i have not been contacted by anyone to get it resolved. why do you think its resolved?

Anjali

ajayresika kindly please turn off your board once. Now, turn it on and try to reconnect the app. Please let me know if this helps.

I also have issues with a loud grinding noise coming from the board when I try to power it on. It does connect to the app and sometimes works as intended it but seems to grind and lose functionality more frequently now than it did before.

It’s been over a year since I bought my Grand Kingdom set (through indiegogo when it was still being crowdfunded) but could I still return it for a functional one even though I no longer have the external box?

Anjali

violinzguy we can offer you a replacement Grand Kingdom Set board at USD 350 since you are our backer. However, immediate replacement is unavailable. We can arrange for a replacement in February or March depending on the stock availability. Please email us at hello@squareoffnow.com and let us know how would you like to proceed.
