So, turning it on brings me to Rescue Mode after 30 seconds, paper clip or not.
Then, none of the options (except "clean up") do anything, all freeze on a window (even letting it sit for 10+hours), and i have to reset it or pull the power plug out.
And my computer won't recognize it being connected in Rescue Mode. Actually, it just did, but i can't update the firmware because it says my batteries are low (i don't even have a battery, it's plugged into the wall).
Please, anyone? Anyone know who to contact to fix it (somehow)? Or was all this a pure waste of money.
