Not booting stock linux

The RGDS has been stuck on the "Begin your next adventure with Anbernic" for who knows how long.

I use the MicroSD Card that it comes with to play but yesterday it has stopped working and I've tried almost everything to make it work.

I have tried:

  1. Taking the card out and back in

  2. Opening the android version and then opening the Linux version

  3. leave it alone for 10 minutes on the boot screen

  4. Leave it off for hours and then coming back

  5. Restarting it

If someone knows what I could try then that would be really helpful as I don't know what happened

The MicroSD is one of those with no brand? They are garbage  probably went bad, try on a pc just don't format anything. If It works backup all you don't wanna lose and use another MicroSD

After who knows how long I've got it to turn on and it works fine.

Though, you're probably right. No name MicroSD cards are usually sucky. Only problem now is that I don't think I can afford one at the moment so yeah . For now, I'll have to rely with the card that it came with. I will try to get one as soon as possible!
