I pray for the safety of all your Frames

Tragically while I was streaming VR Minecraft, my Frame randomly shut down and has rejected further charge, rendering it dead. I’ve heard of it happening to others and it’s unsurprising it happened to me, all my tech is cursed. 🫠

I’ve already had many issues. Some weeks ago I had to flash the OS again after a boot loop glitch, that was scary. The software is very buggy.

Tried some suggestions… unlocking and reseating the Frame, different cables and different devices to provide power. It still won’t draw from my powerbank let alone my Steam Deck charger.

RMA process has started, they responded within an hour. hopefully it won’t be too long for… repairs. 😶 Anyone have other suggestions I could try before I send it off?

    I never opted into the Beta branch so I should have been on the Stable release. It seems like a common issue where the communication between the charger and the unit can’t agree on the proper Wattage or Voltage.

    Edit: I’ve seen people say that updating to the beta branch can fix this, but I couldn’t even boot to try it.
