Factory default issues

Hi,

I tried doing a factory default reboot but when I pressed the backup button a second time as per instrutions, it moved on to OS reinstall so I tried again and this time I didn't press the backup button a second time. The problem is that for the last 24hrs or so, I have a flickering on /off switch with a sign showing Factory default but nothing happened. Someone told me that there is something wrong with the flash and it needs repairs or replacement with a new one.
