I very much agree with Nick Swayne -- call Mindstorms tech support:

MINDSTORMS technical support, 1-877-680-2800, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 6:30 pm EST

We had the screen failure (see my panicked forum entries from two weeks ago) and they sent a replacement -- no hassle and shipped same day.  They said it would be 3 days but it was 4 business days (shipped from Nebraska to Virginia).

Hey everyone,

The button on our first EV3 brick broke late last week.  We had to run to the Lego Store and buy another on Sunday.  The new one died on us two days later and after pleading with the person at the store we were able to get a replacement.  Don't know if is a design problem with the EV3 brick or just bad luck but the NXT last year was much more reliable.  Also reliability and performance consistency on the runs has dropped significantly from last year.  Again it could be design or batter power levels but all issues we did not run into last year with the NXT.

Cheers!

Hi All

We are having an issue with our EV3 robot. Suddenly the robot is not running as per the program instructions. Our light sensor shows blue light when the Robot acts crazy. It is not detecting the distance correctly with the US sensor. When we test the US sensor , it seems to work fine. 

We reset the brick... Turned off.. Deleted and reloaded the programs. Kids did practice runs for 2 to 3 hrs yesterday and everything was fine.  Today when we started it acts very strange. 

All sensors and ports seem to  work when we look in the port view..


Has anyone experienced this issue ? Our tournament is on sat.

Thanks
Lakshmi
