[Caevlist] Blink gave it up

[Otmar]

In case you want to try to save your Blink I’d be happy to help diagnose it. 
I’ve heard that lobotomizing them by unplugging the brain board turns them into a simple un-networked charger.

I waited past that time inside and saw it wasn't talking on the net, went out, and found it saying "charging delayed" with a time about 10 min later than previous.  I power cycled it and after it booted, touched "charge now" and it went blank and sort of rebooted, but just a blank screen, so I unplugged it and plugged my portable charger into the outlet the blink had used.
