Nighthawk M2 MR2100 won’t power on

Hi, I have a Nighthawk M2 (MR2100) which has suddenly stopped working and won’t power on at all. I’ve tried the usual troubleshooting, charging it, removing/replacing the battery, holding the power button etc., but absolutely nothing happens. Has anyone experienced this with an MR2100 and managed to get it working again? Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

  • Absolutely no LED or screen activity, even with a known-good charger and the battery removed/reseated, I’d suspect a power/battery or hardware failure rather than a firmware issue. Try a different USB cable/charger and leave it charging for 30–60 minutes, then attempt a long power-button press.
