I bought an Aluratek Libre today. I charged it for a few hours until the battery indicator said full. I then tried to copy the firmware folder on to the SD card that came with it following the directions exactly. It wouldn't fully copy. Just keeps locking up my computer. So I put a different SD card in my SD reader on my computer and I formatted it in FAT and then copied the firmware folder and it worked fine. I put this card in my Libre and follow the directions and nothing happens. The device just turns on. No Aluratek screen, no update firmware screen. I have tried many, many times. First of all the reset button doesn't even seem to have a button in there. All I see is plastic. Should something happen when I push that? What am I doing wrong?
