Alpha 400 issue

Eufonic I suppose you have gone past all of the reset options including the reset button underneath?? Allowing the Lithium Polymer battery to go flat won't (I don't think) reset the bios as there is, I believe, a button cell on board (at least there is on one of the photos I have seen). If you have manged to install a brand new mbr - how are you getting to the stage where you can install it? something MUST be working to allow that to happen? Which machine have you got and what mbr did you use? If you could list all of that we can see if we can turn your rather cute doorstop into a working LLL?

well

i now have the elonex latest mbr on  pressing fn+shift+f1 (the elonex loading screen appears i assume the mbr is installed)
the LLL is an Belco Alpha 400
current distro on it 3mx rc2 which hung alot thus giving me this problem, once crashed forced restart with long power press, never booted up since

funny thing

- boots the firmware, not the distro
- after 2 flickers of cursor in top left doesn't accept any command
- if i boot it pressing the f3 key nothing happens, only A led on
- if i try to install new mbr, everything goes without a hitch(i assume becouse the load screen is different)
- if i boot pressing fn+shift, cursor clicker twice only i have two leds on same idleing though

i have not formated the flash drives in any way, or anything. just did some recoveries.

i don't know what to do anymore

UPDATE!

it finally booted all it need was a womans touch, completly drained the battery after 10 minutes of charging went without a hitch, now doing complet system recovery.
