I had to flash the micro SD because it wouldn't charge; I plugged it into the PC and followed a very long guide, but I managed to get it working after hours (if the same thing happens to you, leave a review just like mine or something similar). The problem is that it gets stuck at the start on a black screen.
If you have another memory card from the same console, you can immediately rule out the error, as I did.
flash the SD memory > use BalenaEtcher with the files on the SD, follow the guides shown in the image video, and that's it.
The idea of buying the M17 is to get it and use it, but it's terrible that you have to fix something that is already new.
I happen to know how to handle these things, but what if a person doesn't? you lose your money.
