Really appreciate all the replies, @adcockm! I guess I was hoping there would have been some solution to this by now, but I think I might just have a bad board. Also, weirdly, the battery is now acting up as well and not charging properly (might need replacing since it’s almost 5y old at this point ).
Seeing all the responses and some other threads, the official OS seems pretty much dead at this point.
I guess I’ll have to dedicate one of these upcoming weekends to see if the console can be updated to fully work. The clockwork guys dropped the ball on it .
