Flair Popup Cleared By Reloading Network Boards¶
Summary¶
A Flair 7 popup blocked operation even though VNC robot drive worked. The reported fix was to reload network boards and restart, suggesting a network-board/connection initialization issue rather than a robot-drive failure.
Symptoms¶
- Flair is stuck at a popup.
- Robot drive/control may still work via VNC or pendant.
- Restart alone may not be enough until network boards are reloaded.

[CONFIRMED] Reload Network Boards And Restart¶
Reload the network boards, then restart Flair/the control session. If the robot itself can still be driven outside Flair, prioritize Flair network-board initialization checks.
