As the title says, I found an HP Pro Slate 12 in the trash, and it looks pretty dead. However, there are some signs of life.
It doesn't turn on at all, but when I plug it in, the screen does flash a little - i.e. it goes from black to slightly less black for about a second, then back to black, then repeats. I read somewhere that you can do a reset by inserting a microSD card with an OS update, and then holding the power and volume up (or down) buttons to get a menu. Now, this doesn't do anything, but it does stop flashing while I'm holding the buttons. Goes back to flashing if I release.
Is there any hope for this thing, or should I return it whence it came?
