This has happened to me. Sometimes i have to turn it on leave it for 1min then turn off and then back on. Do this a couple of times and it seemt to fix itself. Its scary but im just glad it didnt brick. Thats not to say that next time it wont though.

 

[darkprinny]

so your telling me to turn it off and on again
didnt work

Are you booting it with the SD card inserted? Take it out and try again if you are. Helps avoid the auto-bricking too

Sounds like you need to reflash the file system then. Follow the guide here:

Where did you buy it from? Most vendors are pretty good about replacing/fixing the unit if it's just bricked itself of its own accord. Email them and ask
