Likely causes, most useful checks first
- External USB/OPS accessory causing startup instability.
- Interrupted or incompatible firmware state.
- Power delivery or mainboard fault.
Safe checks
Record the startup sequence
Film one complete loop and note the last logo or message shown.
What the result means: This gives support a reproducible failure point.
Remove external accessories
Power down normally, disconnect external USB devices and removable source cables, then retry once.
What the result means: If stable, reconnect external accessories one at a time.
Use only an official recovery route
Check the exact model and generation before considering manufacturer-published firmware recovery.
What the result means: Do not use firmware from a similar-looking model.
