Ok so I tried a bunch of things like holding down power button for 30seconds etc, in the end I was able to turn it off after plugged it into power/charge.

I left it for a few minutes and turn it back on again, same result, getting worried now that mine was going be up for replacement.

Then I tried plugging something into the HDMI port (never used HDMI yet) and it displayed the input perfectly

So I hit the home button on the remote and it came back to the input source selection, I selected Android and it tried to switch but went back to the dim purplish screen.

I went back to HDMI, perfect, except it would not turn the volume up or focus.

Then all of a sudden it seemed to " catch up" and all the button presses I had done an not seen a result went crazy (focus focus, vol up up down focus …)

Eventually, I was back to the android launcher home screen.

Interestingly, on the home screen I’d lost all my installed apps again, and the battery was about 57% (correct) but if I went into settings screen, the battery was 10%.

I reboot it, everything came back to normal (installed apps, battery, remote responsiveness)

Very weird experience, but glad to have my PPM back.

Just offline updated to 1.1.01 and no issues.

My take from this… ONLY do update via offline update method.

So glad it is OK now. Thanks for sharing this experience. I recall another user had a similar problem. Hope that user sees this post and can do something similar to resolve it.

Oh no. It’s happening again. I was playing around with the PPM for a few hours, installing emulators and games, everything was perfect.

I turned it off and popped it on charge.

Now when Ive turned it back on, we are back to the dim light.

I plug my NVIDIA shield in over HDMI, it works, I hit the home button, it come back to input selection, I hit Android, and I’m back to the launcher.

Bit of a weird one.

Have you tried a factory reset? I know it’s a PITA to install everything again, but if it gets you a fully working projector again it’s surely worth it.

So I left it alone last night and watched a movie (Alien) on the normal boring TV.

Anyway, started the PPM up this morning, and everything is fine.

The last thing I did last night before turning it off was that System clean with the little rocketship thing.

I think the package download for 1.1.01 did something, so only offline updated for me from now on.

I tried that little rocket it seems to do jack, it says its optimised at 100% ,go back in there again and it’s at either 70 or 80 something percent again, you can let it launch all day long

I know right, but it makes you feel better watching it take off with all your junk and presumably reject it all into space?

I also noticed after sending the rocket to space, my update file was still sitting there taking up 800mb of space.

To infinity and beyond!!
