    Its hardware, no HDMI output and now light is staying red when I turn it on. I was a bit too zealous with my soldering iron!

      I'm not sure, but I think, if you get red led, then maybe you can unbrick it

        The HDMI port was failing and I was getting strange colours on the screen. I started trying to bend the board as it sorted the display for a while but it was failing. Then I tried to solder some connections and the HDMI out gave me no picture at all, then I had the red light. I think its totally done.

            Thanks for the post showing the trip points, Oman. Judging by my nearly-always 70-75C I guess I just have to live with a 1.2Ghz clock instead of the 2Ghz that it is advertised as. This is pretty disappointing, hopefully it can be made more clear for future buyers.

              after I hardware mod my box this week I will attempt to undervolt and see how low I can go stabily. That should cut down on heat depending on how low I can take it.

                Is there any confirmation of performance issues with these temps? We dont even know if its an accurate guage

                  Yeah I'm not sure just how accurate the readings I get from a cpu temp app are... one second it's 45deg C, next it's 55deg C, then it's suddenly 70, then back down to 45 lol...
                  if it was 70, for sure the lid of the unit would be hot to touch, but mine's cool...
                  I installed 'set cpu', an set max to 1600 just to be on safe side ... temps around 50 -55 most of the time on Finless 1.7 rom
