Received 2 DGX Sparks on Oct 24.
Opened the first device. Connected the power cable. Clicked the power button. Waited for some time and connected to the SSID printed on the manual using my Mac book.
Navigated to the spark local website. Clicked continue on Language And Timezone. Accepted Terms and Conditions. Created a new account - provided username and password. Confirmed password. Provided local wifi details.
System gave an inane comment about not being able to connect and my Mac reconnected back to the local wifi.
Nothing. No indication that anything was happening.
Checked local network on Mac. Found the new device had connected to wifi. Used NVIDIA sync, entered details as provided. Unexpected Error - Handshake failed. Tried to ssh. Authentication failed. I had saved the password directly into chrome to make sure I had not made a mistake. Tried to ping the system. It was connected to the local network. But neither SSH nor NVIDIA Sync Worked.
During this period, created a recovery USB just in case.
Tried restarting. Same issue.
Connected HDMI to device, connected keyboard via usb-c. Plugged power out. Waited 15s. Plugged power in. Nothing. No display.
Tried again. Display came on. NVDA logo. Spinner. Then went dead. Pinging the device from Mac worked after 1 minute.
Tried to restart. Multiple times, kept hitting the del key to get to BIOS. But the device did not show anything on display.
At this point, I switched to the other device. Wasted another hour and half. Same problem.
Suggestions?
