Home assistant Yellow PoE - Red and Green LED always on

Hardware
1

I got my new Home assistant yellow PoE yesterday. I installed the CM 4108016 and a Samsung 970 Evo SSD. I followed the guide (insert a USB etc) and when I booted up the machine for the first time, I get the red and green light turned on… and they are always on.

I noticed that my battery was not seated properly. I reseated it but nothing changed for me.

What I understand, I never get past the “booting sequence”. I tried hooking it up to a serial port but I never get any output. I’ve also tried resetting the device but notting works.

Im blind and out of options. Any suggestions are welcome.

So, months later I gave this another try. I did 2 things differently.

I reseated the compute module and I used a different USB-stick. Now it works as expected.

I had the same experience. A different USB drive fixed the problem for me too. The compute module was seated fine.
