I just charge 4, 5 hours several times.

I work with electronics, One the first things I do, disconnect and reconnected flat cable.

Just tested with two cards, original 4gb, and other with 16gb (until I was able to increase the size of the data partition after recording the image as I saw some tutorials)



Many thanks for the help, my friend. I'm still trying to figure out solutions to this case. I do not know if other people have had the same symptoms (white screen with no activity, and red led fixed when on).

Thanks, Hugs,
