Hi all, long time listener, first time caller ....
Anyway, I thought I might ask some professional opinion on whether my Disgo is actually bricked or not.
I had the Sylvania beta 5 on it for a while to check it out, changed the wireless drivers to the latest ones.
Was going ok, then this morning I started getting 'Wireless Error' trying to turn the wireless on.
I thought I might flash back to the Beta 3 as it is generally regarded as more stable.
Trying to be a clever dick, I knew that I couldn't burn over OTG port with Win 64 bit (no drivers) but I installed XP mode and did it via IUW1.1 on that (please, I realise that was a bit daft now, you don't need to tell me!).
This all 'seemed' to work fine, usual screen instructions, factory reset button to restart device afterwards, but after that, nothing, nada, dead, I can't even get the infotmic logo up. Plugging in USB cable and trying to turn on to re-flash also brings no response.
So the way I see it one of two things has happened:
- does anyone know whether I should still see the Infotmic screen after a bad flash? (so I could know whether this is actually a bad flash or hardware fault)
- Has anyone else flashed through USB using XP Mode on a 64 bit win7 (as I did) and either got the same result or had no problems
- Has anyone got any ideas as to anything I might try to get the tablet working again?
The only good point is that I only paid 30 quid for it a few weeks ago, the prime purpose being I wanted to make all my mistakes with ROM's etc. on a cheapy tab, not an expensive one!

So the way I see it one of two things has happened:
- The device was undergoing a major hardware failure (indicated by the dying wireless?) and has now just died completely. This means device now useless.
- Flashing through a VM 32 bit XP on a 64 Bit Win 7 has corrupted the data as it was sent to the device, which has then accepted it and therefore bricked the device.
