I had this weird problem with the VOXL2 board I'm working with. When I first connect the battery to the platform, the VOXL2 does not boot up, but instead gets stuck in a boot loop (the fan powers down for a second and starts back up, a green led turns off and on on the bottom of the board) and we need to keep reconnecting the battery until it stops boot looping and starts working again. Sometimes I need to put it in fastboot mode and reboot right after for the board to work again. Does anyone here know whats happening ?

Hi @vivek-rk ,

So far this issue has been resolved by re-attaching or sometimes replacing the [4 wire cable](https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00001) that is between the VOXL Power Module and the VOXL 2...  Can you try to see if re-seating this cable in the connectors resolves the issue?  If not if you have another cable to try?

Hi @modaltb 
 Thanks for sharing that information. It happened today and changing the power cable fixed it.
