I pray for the safety of all your Frames

Tragically while I was streaming VR Minecraft, my Frame randomly shut down and has rejected further charge, rendering it dead. I've heard of it happening to others and it's unsurprising it happened to me, all my tech is cursed. ๐Ÿซ 

I've already had many issues. Some weeks ago I had to flash the OS again after a boot loop glitch, that was scary. The software is very buggy.

Tried some suggestions... unlocking and reseating the Frame, different cables and different devices to provide power. It still won't draw from my powerbank let alone my Steam Deck charger.

RMA process has started, they responded within an hour. hopefully it won't be too long for... repairs. ๐Ÿ˜ถ Anyone have other suggestions I could try before I send it off?

I've had similar issues, where the Frame would shut down and not charge, although, the device would still have some charge left, I kept the power button pressed long enough (maybe 30-60s) and then the frame turn back on with 40% charge....

Not sure if this is the same problem here, but maybe try that?

I'm fairly sure it still had charge left when it died, but alas, I tried again and no luck.
