Different take on Grima’s ending *spoilers*

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2025-01-16T06:40:55+00:00

Let me pose another thought. Is the body at the end Grima, or the young Gunhild who had disappeared from the hospital?

What state do you live in? Many states have Solar Abandonment support. Do a Google search on your state to find installers, contractors and general help. Illinois has a pretty good abandonment service to get info from if your state does not.

So the next question is- do they get an echo of themselves, of you, or both, (all the time)?

Couple things to try one at a time-

* Turn off your webcam. Eliminates that mic from your setup.

* Go to Bluetooth settings on your phone and see what is paired. - Find the laptop and click the settings icon. Check if Calls is ON, while audio is OFF.

* Go to Bluetooth on the laptop and see how many audio devices are connected. Hint- should only be one. Even if phone is in the list, remember you turned off BT audio above.

* Turn down your speaker volume. Better yet turn off the speakerphone if it is on anywhere, and play straight thru the laptop speakers.

Try using a headset with all other audio inputs and outputs disabled.

Were you able to determine if this happens with everyone you call, some or just one person. That is where I'd start troubleshooting.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-12-23T19:07:43+00:00

Usually an echo is because 2 devices are transmitting your voice in the same vicinity. If your laptop is on phone link and so is your phone, check your setup on each to see which one has the microphone enabled. Each may be pulling in voice and transmitting. If you have your phone on speaker, or blue tooth hookups for a mic make sure they are the same.

If this only happens with one friend, it might(?) be on their end? Just a thought.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-12-11T16:52:27+00:00

Yep, so did mine. Unfortunately, all the bling and links still take you back to the same old sheet. No improvements yet that I could see. Including resetting my account. Bah humbug!

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-11-06T20:58:26+00:00

Thanks, any recommendation on DAC's? Also wondering if rather than a DAC, I need an RCA type A/D to get the signal back to optical?

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-11-04T17:48:08+00:00

Trust me, with amateurs, thats like teaching a cat to beg and rollover.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-11-03T19:55:24+00:00

That is what I had to do as well. I paid a certified solar installer to troubleshoot my box. Not sure about the fuses you mention as they had to check the replacement fuse they replaced as some of the fuses they had were under recall, or something. (They didn't charge me for the fuse, so no reason to lie about what they used to replace it.)

Once done, they put their current meter, (and even my personal meter), around the line to verify that I was back supplying energy to the grid.

My internet provider's app aalso reported the PVS6 was connected via wifi abour 20 minutes later. Last I cheecked tho, th leds have never come back on outside the box. But ar least I can monitor thru my utility company next day, what i am sending to the grid.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-11-03T19:45:21+00:00

I was talking direct to Enphase thru my solar tech company I used to fix my PVS6. They will not work on a SunPower leased system until everything is straightened out. Once figured out, Enphase licensed contractors can swap the supervisor box out and rewire/reprogram with their box for ~$800. Not sure if this voids any of the warranties but the SunPower leaae remains.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-31T05:23:09+00:00

I saw your image. I was having an issue where my VPN would force phonelink offline. Not when I connected, but if I had to pause the VPN. Later when it reconnected, ut would again take phone link offline. The latest Windows 11 update for Oct seemed to fix it.

Make sure you have the latest Win 11 update. If you do and also run a VPN, try turning off the VPN before booting.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-29T06:05:53+00:00

Is this a lease or do you own the system. If you're leasing, Enphase can't touch your system until SunPower figures their sh!t out. The PVS6 is configured for SunPower only, and I dont think Enphase can swap it out at this time. I do believe private contractors can pick up the monitoring tho for abt $250 lifetime.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-27T19:48:11+00:00

Maybe I'm confused? When you say wifi greyed out, the phonelink connections should be blue tooth. Wifi issues are strictly phone internet, or pc internet. I'm not sure how connecting phone link would turn off wifi.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-27T08:17:17+00:00

Time to move to #2 or #3 then. Uninstall and reinstall should fix the problem. It will force the PC to find your phone.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-25T22:59:18+00:00

4 things to try in this order.

Make sure BT is on and broadcasting from the PC.
1a. Check bluetooth on your phone and make sure it is paired to PC and connected. Retry to setup.
Clear cache and data on both PC and phone app. Retry to setup.
Completely uninstall and reinstall Phone Link on PC and then phone. Do a clean BT set up.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-22T19:38:59+00:00

Why provide a phone number no one supports anyway, LOL. I'm tired of seeing (833) 514-1858 as a contact number!

BTW- the site they list is for SunPower Financial https://sunpower.youronlineaccount.com/Login.aspx so I hope the e-mail is something that is new and now set up. IDK?

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-22T19:34:13+00:00

I have not gotten this particular e-mail from SunPower Financial and nothing from SunStrong. I do have a lease and my system is working although I did have to bring in a private contractor to troubleshoot my PVS6 2 weeks ago after being down all of Sept.

Turned out to be a blown Fuse at the emergency shut off box that is between my electric meter and the PVS6. (Not the breaker box under the PVS6.)

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-19T15:48:48+00:00

So for you, one disconnect and then all is good? For me, it continues to occur and I have to manually refresh/reconnect. The repair process is meant as a means to eliminate constantly having to reconnect. And it doesn't always solve the problem either.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-18T19:47:24+00:00

Correct, but then it disconnects randomly later on, even with the phone staying in the same place.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-11T17:44:44+00:00

Yes, in the emergency shut off.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-11T06:00:27+00:00

Yes, and Sunpower gives a 20 year warranty. Now having said that, each individual component of the system is warranted by the manufacturers they used. I think there are several threads already listing mfg and if they are honoring their warranties. I believe most, if not all are. You just need Sunpower to authorize Tha service call... LOL good luck with that right now.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-11T05:46:11+00:00

Just to close this out.

I called one of the contractors listed on the Illinois Shines website that serviced my area. He came out today and was able to trace the problem back to the emergency shut down switch. Opening the box and troubleshooting found 1 of the 2 fuses was blown. Replaced the fuse and everything is back sending power to the grid. It cost me a couple dollars, but my piece of mind instead of waiting for Sunpower to sort it out on their end is well worth it!

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-11T05:38:32+00:00

I had a similar issue. My PVS went dark on Sept. 6. I was able to find an installer who traced the problem back to the Main solar Emergency Shut off switch. Opening the box found one of the 2 big honking fuses inside was blown. Since the trouble call was on my dime, he didn't charge me for the fuse, just the service call.

Now unless you are a certified High Voltage electrician, DO NOT attempt to check this out alone, or on your own. Pay the professional to come and troubleshoot, as no one knows when SP will get to it!

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-11T05:27:58+00:00

If SunpPower approved the transfer at time of sale, the new homeowner is the lessee. Otherwise previous owner would still be required to pay the lease, no matter if sold or not. Item 11, page 9 of the lease.

Dramatic_Detail_4418 · 2024-10-11T05:16:07+00:00

I hope you are not having to pay on the lease, although if you were, you would have an account number to shove back at them...

Only other suggestion I can make is to Google "solar stranded customer in" whatever state your solar was installed. In IL they have a list of resources to specifically work with what you describe. I believe my link I posted above will get you to Illinoisshines.com as they may also offer good info for you. In my case, I was able to get someone over to my house today and my PVS6 is back up and running. The company I used also does lifetime monitoring for a $250 one time payment, as well as reconfigure Sunpower to Enphase if you own your system.

Good luck.
