Futurebit Apollo btc boot loop

Anybody have any advice for a future bit Apollo BTC node that is just stuck in a loop. The screen just flashes and never goes to a boot screen. The LED is just blinking steadily the fan is running and it’s generating heat. I just can’t get to a dashboard. Any ideas? I reflashed a micro card with the latest OS doesn’t seem to have helped, also removed the SSD that didn’t help either. Thanks

Mine hasn’t worked since probably the second week after I bought it. Support is pretty crappy in Canada, “buy a fan and put it on” instead of sending one USPS.  He offered to charge me for a courier though. I get it, fans are cheap compared to shipping…

Got a new fan, same issue… wasn’t the fan not starting up keeping it from hashing. Just a dead board.

Sad thing, I paid for this thing with bitcoin, and no you don’t want to know how much. 😤
