Thanks Sam, but still no go.
I tried both usb ports and the sdcard slot, with and without all the others cables installed (network, hdmi, optical)
Also used a usb stick with activity led so i could see if it was being accessed.
After pressing and holding the “reset” in the 3.5mm port (nice touch placing it there btw) inserting the power cable, after about 10sec removing the toothpick, no activity shown on the usb, the 10 sec is about the same time when the blue led turns off after powerup.
Also tried different times to let go.
Waited arround 10min after every try
Seems the exact same thing as what “daytooner” had: Vero5 is now a brick
