Did you try putting your deck temporarily into Battery Storage Mode?
Yes, I have tried that.
Worth mentioning, that only works if the power supply is disconnected. I have to push Volume+ & the Power Button and then insert the power cable. If I try this with the cable attached the screen, plays the short "activate" sound but the screen stays dark.
The power cord works like the "Auto boot on AC attached" in the power menu, but that is Disabled...
You may have luck with a slow (5W) charger according to the comments here.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried draining the battery for 2 month now, hoping the problem will eventually fix itself.
I tried different chargers, but it will only start with the original charger.
Good luck! Hate that you are having to deal with this.
