Postby Mitre » March 12th, 2012, 1:07 am

Hi all just i got some trouble with my power button it only seems to work eraticaly any one else having issues with this
have to press 3 times to get a reaction and when i long press dont get option to shutdown the screen just switches off
also cant get into recovery as hold pwr v-up does nothing

Code: Select all
busybox poweroff -f

has done something it deffo seems software related??

Recovery should be Menu + Power 3 Seconds, then let go, on "Suggsy ICS" ;) lol

Have you tried flashing the "Tablo" firmware?
Maybe then you will be able to see if it is a software or hardware problem?

Power button is fried :(

There is an app on the market called "quick reboot" it kind of works, but to go to recovery you have to hold "menu" button then click "reboot recovery"
