It seemed to work just fine yesterday, opened it up today and the light turns on but nothing happens, just a blank screen. I've tried it plugged in, not plugged in, connected to a PC etc. If I connect it to my Windows 10 PC I do hear the 'device connected' sound, and the 'device disconnected' sound when I disconnect it, but nothing changes on the FunKey and it doesn't show up as a drive or anything in Windows. (Connecting it to Windows to load roms did work when it was working overall BTW).
Brick?
I had that same issue. They said I had to flash the image then turn on the FunKey and let it finish installing before turning it back off or connecting it to my PC. Everything worked fine after I did that.
So does this mean I need to get an external microsd card mount in order to re-flash it? I can't mount it so I have no way to access it at this point.
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for your post we're very sorry for this inconvenience.
For the console not turning on it is an SD card issue. This issue only happens since you're one of the 600 backers that received an early console. You can see more information here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/squonk/funkey-s-the-worlds-smallest-foldable-handheld-console/posts/3066980
We are currently correcting it in the production line for the next consoles.
The good news is that there is an easy fix to this problem: simply download the latest SD card software here: https://github.com/FunKey-Project/FunKey-OS/releases/download/FunKey-OS-1.1.0/FunKey-sdcard-1.1.0.zip and flash it onto a new SD card (you can even increase the storage if you want).
To flash the SD card, use BalenaEtcher https://www.balena.io/etcher/ it's the best and simplest way.
Simply put your new SD card in the console and it will work right away.
Again so sorry about this, we're correcting this issues in the production line right now
Cheers,
The FunKey team.
I did this an flashed the bios. Now, the FunKey won't even mount. It turns on, but nothing at all mounts to the PC.
