I am having the exact same issues. I purchased the unit brand new in August 2022 and about 2 weeks into using it the unit would go unresponsive and unable to use the screen when it got hot. Unit is plugged in without the battery in it and using the ethernet cable. Unit will not work until unplugged and has cooled down. Are there any fixes to this issue yet?

Other than that, no permanent or absolute solutions so far. John Peng is very helpful so far, I just sent him some info from my device when it failed so hopefully that will help him.
