My duo has also just developed this fault, prior to this i had been messing around with meo boot trying different images etc. Now the duo wont boot and im stuck with a red dot in top left corner..... presuambly like a lot of other people now have...

It is an original vu duo, around 3 years old. Am i right in saying the only possible chance of "bringing it back to life" is by doing whats detailed in the first post? Has anyone else been able to bring it back to life with any other method?

Im not that keen on soldering so would be willing to send it off for repair if possible..... all help greatly appreciated
