Hi all, I am tech savvy but found myself at a point where I don’t know what to do.
TLDR: I have been using the deck extensively over the past month and a half and it’s been a real lifesaver as I am from Israel and it really helped me to get out of the depression I was in.
Yesterday, after a couple of days where I didn’t play on the deck, I turned it on. worked fine. then I had an update to the latest preview, pressed as usual “apply”, “restart” and then…the device just went into some weird loop with a slow blinking light (once every 2-3 seconds). I tried every possible combination and the deck just refused to turn on.
After reading on reddit other posts I decided to leave it like that and after 1-2h I noticed that the deck is running cold - i.e. fans are on 100%.
So from other posts on the matter, I left it like that for the battery to die.
Now I plugged it back into the charger, and when I press the power button I hear the blip sound of the deck turning on, but still nothing on the screen.
I did nothing wrong with the deck, I have been taking care of it and it worked great till yesterday.
Would anyone happen to know how to resolve this? I can’t believe that a 600$ product just turned into a brick because of a software update.
Don’t worry If fans are running it not a brick. Let’s try the basics first
Press and hold power button for atleast 20 second, the led indicator should blink once. Then try to power on.
If not working maybe booting issue. Let’s try to get into recovery mode ( hold volume down and power button)
