Hello,

Started up my deck today and when I plugged it in it wouldn’t charge. Changed the power socket, tried charging it through the monitor I have, but nothing.

I read online to hold the - volume button, the … button and the power button all together. The charging LED flashed three times but that was it.

Now I can’t turn on the deck, charging still doesn’t work and I really have no idea on what to do.

The battery was at 75%, I limit it so it doesn’t charge over 80%. I don’t leave it plugged in. I’ve been using a portable monitor with it lately that plugs into the USB-C but I haven’t run into any issues with it and it was working fine last night.

Can someone please help?
