Glad to hear you are getting closer. Sounds like one is done.
If you have to do this often I still highly suggest making it where you can get to micro sd card. If you had that you could have them fixed in 15 minutes with just flashing the micro sd card.
It seems deliberate as if to dissuade.
And no, simply flashing the card wouldn't give me the fix I need. It would be in the .1.0 network after flashing the card unless you have an idea how to reset the 192.168.1.99 to another subnet on the card before it goes in the machine.
So, no. Holding the reset for 90 seconds brings it to that state.
The S5's wake up to DHCP so subnets are not a problem. But water cooled has lower temps than hard fan like the S5.
I could be wrong but I think in first page FAQ Dogies sd card image will bring it to factory, including IP. If someone could please confirm that has used his image.
