Title: G5A does not boot any more
Post by: holmes on March 12, 2014, 08:31:03 am

Hi,

I have got my G5A for 3 weeks and was happy with it but know it does not boot any more. After a night of charging, it does not boot normally. I have to push Power button many times and for a long time  to get GPD animation. It lasts only one second and then I have the Android picture with the open belly.
To be complete, I had many difficulties to upgrade the firmware (I had to format the memory several times for it to be sucessful) and I often had to push power several times to make it actually boot. Could it be that the flash memory is defective? Any idea?

Thanks

Can be multiple things, bad memory, or a even a problem with the power button (maybe it keeps pressed or don't get good contact with the board). Sounds defective in any case, so if you can, I would ask for a refund from the place you get it.
