This must be an exceedingly rare thing, because I can't find anyone else complaining about the same thing, but we have an intermittent failure of our 10-yr-old Dynon D10A.
It goes like this:
One day, I'll go out to the airport to go fly and pull the RV-6 out. Upon activating the master switch, the D10A will begin a boot up to the blue screen with the Dynon logo, but then after about 2 seconds reset and try to boot up again. This will repeat, over and over. It is essentially a "blue screen of death" for the D10A, over and over.
So then I'll spend 30 minutes getting it removed from the aircraft. Once it's out, I hit the button to test it and it fires right up on the backup battery like nothing ever happened - perfect.
After re-installation, a few weeks or months will go by and then it will happen again.
Things I've done to this point:
1. Sent to Dynon to get repaired. They could not duplicate the failure, so just sent it back to me with a new backup battery.
2. Updated to latest firmware.
3. Disconnected Keep Alive power connection.
I just had the failure again last week and removed the D10A again (and of course it works fine on the bench right now). I'm almost out of ideas. I'm not really asking for assistance, just wanted to document the problem in case someone else has the same issue.
