Seems to not switch on.

  dlarge6510

   I plugged my c64 mini into a usb charger supplying 5v @1.2 amps. It
   started turning on for the first time out of the box, then after about 3
   or so seconds the led went out. Now it will not switch on either by
   removing and reconnecting power or using the power button.

   The usb charger is still working on other devices. Any ideas?

   UNplug TheC64 Mini for 2 mins and wait... then switch on TV first and it's
   on the right HDMI,1,2 etc,then plug power in to C64M and it should come on
   by itself,it does have a turn off/on button near the USB connectors where
   the power would go on a real C64.Hold down that button for 5 seconds to
   turn it on,if not come on by itself.

   I managed to resolve it. Took a peek inside and saw the power led leads
   were a bit proud and had been touching the pcb right where the solder
   joints for the power button were! I guess this was making the mini think i
   was pressing the power button all the time lol.

   Bent the led leads out of the way and all is fine now.
