Flipper is dead. Can't charge. Can't turn on. Can't run recovery mode

#1

I bought a MicroSD card, inserted it into the flipper, and pushed the power button, it started, blinked, and shut down. I’m not able to start it. I can’t charge it. it doesn’t react at all. I wasn’t able even to test the device. Does anyone face that problem?

I haven’t, but have you tried using this guide?

Full recovery mode

If the bootloader is damaged, rebooting to update mode will not work. There will be no image on the Flipper Zero screen and the status LED will not work. In this case, only the full recovery mode will help to restore the device.

To activate full recovery mode:

  1. Disconnect Flipper Zero from the USB.

  2. Press and hold the + button for 30 seconds.

  3. Connect the device to your computer.

  4. Restore the firmware according to the instructions: Firmware Recovery

Did you try to remove the SD and start Flipper ? Maybe a short circuit on the SD card itself ???

You are right. That was a problem with Firmware. Thank you for the link, it works!

It could be a reason for the Firmware corruption, I tried it but it didn’t help.
