OK, having a problem with my Rebirth.

It was working just fine last night. I put it on the charger.
This morning...could not get screen to come up...even holding power witch and Pandora button...nothing.

The green light in the right was on, and green lights on left blinking occasionally.

So I went and did something you should NOT do...which is to emove the battery while power was on...because NOTHING I did could make the thing power off.

So NOW...it boots up (Super Zaxxon 1.72) but it asks for username and password.

So, if I enter this wrong, it asks for username again.

But entering it corrct...it goes back to a boot=up screen for a minute...and then, it asks for username again!!

I can't get it past this point, and I can't make it power-off...short of removing the battery.

I suspect I am going to need to re-do my firmware. But I do not know.

HELP!!

The device seems to WORK...but it won't get past a boot-up...and it won't power off either.
[doublepost=1510327953,1510327578][/doublepost]Weird....

Now I got it all the way. I just let it sit for a while...then re-entered my pass. Now I am all the way to my main screen.

And it shuts off like it should.

But I had only 15 percent of battery power on my screen.

Gonna put it back on the charger.

Weird stuff. But at least I cleared the first crisis.
 
If it doesn't start behaving now, in terms of booting up cleanly and accepting your password or other software weirdness, you may have corrupted the OS, so it's worth reflashing to the latest release.

There's a risk that you've busted the charge controller by yanking the battery before yanking the power, but I think the main danger is on putting it back while still on charge.
