A firmware update of 2.7.1 —> 2.7.2 seems to have crippled my ESP8266 WiFi module. It no longer connects to my network and doesn’t broadcast an SSID (default factory mode). I tried unplugging the external 240V plug, unplugging the WiFi module from its ribbon connector, and removing the optional coin battery from the backside of the display. I also restarted my WiFi router. My smartphone shows full WiFi signal strength at my charger box. Also, the WiFi module briefly illuminates a bright blue LED when first plugged in and then displays a solid red LED continuously. Are there any other practical ways to poke at it? Can I get a warranty replacement? I’ll be happy to ship this module back.

I mailed it today.
