Topic: Help, 1197 shuts itself down??

[Techno Destructo]

Well, my new dream unit seems to be dead... It was act weird last time out, lagging & what not. Rebooting didn't help. Now when I plug it in, it has a funky boot screen & give the shutting down message in 2 1 gone. The power button is not stuck & make the "click" sound when I press it in the 3 seconds it stays on.

So... What do I do now?

Try checking all your power connections.  Make sure your supply is fully charged and capable of delivering the required voltage.

Thx for your time guys.

I did call them & I'm sending it in for repair. Test mode shows the power is shorted out, like you're just holding the power button down. It's pretty new, no wear the button & ya feel the textile feedback.

Should have it off tomorrow. I'll report back the turnaround time. They said maybe 2 weeks total.

I do feel a little cheated thou, that I have to pay shipping + insurance ofcourse. Worked hard for that 3 LARGE. Hell, maybe they'll send me some stickers. lol Guess my hobbies will always cost me.
