I see that several others have similar symptoms - the screen is frozen (it's stuck on the "connect to computer" image); if I try to turn it on the, the power light lights up green, then blue, then flashes green for a bit, and then goes out. The device is not recognised by the computer. I had tried all kinds of reset - at some point, the power light turned white and flashed repeatedly, but still nothing happened. The firmware was the last throw of the dice - I replaced the existing firmware with the factory reset, but it didn't help.

I didn't have a spare microSD card, so it's just possible the card itself was faulty, though I was able to browse through it OK with an EXT3 file-system reader OK.

Anyway, I had just purchased it second-hand, so I think I will just return it rather than spend any more time trying to get it to work!
