So I can't get past the SX OS screen, Tried booting into the Original FW but get the same thing. The device is charged.

Tired replacing the Boot.dat, that didn't work, I have autoRCM enabled so have never had the issue booting before

When I do try to boot I get the nintendo logo come up then the battery sign at the top, then the unit switched off.

Any Ideas as the unit is no good at the moment

Help needed please

Its been in the dock for 2 days, still shows the same thing. I can get into the SX OS menu and the console won't turn off till I try to boot

boot into the sx menu by holding power up while booting, then before booting any firmware plug the power cord directly into the console. boot the firmware, and let it charge. RCM doesnt charge, and the moment you put it in the dock, it turns on the console in RCM mode, which then drains the battery further. I have had this problem a few times, and this method has always fixed it. The other option is that you ran an unpatched version of linux, in which case, the battery fix in hekate would be needed, before you charge. So, patch, and then follow the instructions above.

Thanks Guys.

I plugged in the charge lead directly and its taking on power now. So am I right in saying that the Dock dosnet charge the unit?

I've got it to boot as well.
