hi

My A8HD is working perfectly until I installed the 2.3.4 firmware 1.3.
after installing the wifi does not get more.
it turns on and after some seconds powers off alone.

I have already installed the firmware 2.3.4 and 2.2 and 1.0 RC4 nothing.

The tablet works normal so that even the wifi not working anymore.
I hope that some have a solution to my problem.

Since already thank you very much.
