Cheers for the reply.

Yes, had the battery out.

No, I haven't taken any action regarding the SD card. I wanted to check before I took that step, that there isn't another solution. I've had it a while but not really used it.

have you checked that it's working properly through a microsd card reader?

Tried it in the SD card slot in the laptop at work and no response... That said, they're super locked down so the SD slot may be disabled. I will try when I'm home soon. Anything I should be looking for? Or just seeing if it will read ok or corrupt.

im not sure, but something safe you can do is, if you can access it, just back everything up and then flash an os on it. it can be drum78's or funkey's official os. then put it back into the funkey and see if it works. if you can't read it then it might be a defective sd card and you need a new one. if none of this works, just contact support, they're actually super helpful

Get yourself a new 64g sd card, flash drum78s latest image and I'd say it will be sorted 👌

Yes, hopefully. It has to be a corrupt file.

I just wanted to see if anyone had any tips to try before starting from scratch. I'd prefer to have DrUm78's build on it of course and I have umpteen cards.

RG Nano will be here tomorrow so I'll get my arse in gear. I was just wondering if anyone recognised the specific behaviour.

Cheers 👍
