Hi,

I use my Electron for several weeks without troubles. But since yesterday it does no longer connect to the cloud. It is just showing a weird blinking sequence:  
fast green  
fast cyan  
slow cyan (1 sec only)  
3 time long red  
fast cyan  
slow cyan (1 sec)  
fast green again

I guessed it is a keys topic and I have already tried particle keys server and particle keys doctor without success ☹

Any more ideas what I can do?

Best regards,  
Christian

That's not the typical keys thing

It might be due to network or server issue.

Although [http://status.particle.io](http://status.particle.io) doesn't indicate a server issue for me

Maybe you leave the device powered off for 23+ minutes and try again.

Thanks ScruffR for the hints.  
I tried it with 1 h without any power, but I still have the same problem.

Maybe file a support request so that Particle can have a look at your SIM
