TVPad4 not powering up

Hi,
My TVPad4 is not powering up. When I plug it in, it only shows the TVPad logo with a black background. It won't get to the Apps page. Does anyone know what is causing this and any solution to fix it? Thanks for your help!

Unplug the power for your box, then push a paper clip in the hole at the bottom of your tvpad press and hold it for 10 second and plug the power back at the same time, wait a couple second release the pin, hopefully will bring back to life.
ANYONE can re-up the firmware?? the one padman provided was dead.
If anyone has any advise on how I can get this thing up and running again. Please do share. Thanks!
@cheuk5 did you experienced the same problem I am having and were able to revive your device with the methods mentioned by 535four?
I have had experience and had an chance to hands on this box to run a restore.
Follow my method and it's worked, you have to use a small paper clip use as a pin to press down hard until you hear a click then plug in the power and wait, be patient wait for the logo appear then release the pin and let it run, it will ask you select a method to run, select the first one first see if it can reboot the box, otherwise do it over again if it can not boot normally, then started over the procedures and wait until you see a logo appeared then release the pin and wait for the selection window, this time select "wipe data/factory reset and press OK on remote another window and make a selection on YES then it will warn you to be sure to continue, after erased the box (it takes awhile, be patient ;-) I have to erased 3 times to made it work. Now reboot itself and set up menu will show ask you just like a new box setup. Good Luck.

1. Does your android box with any issues before you update?
2. Do you ever install some app before that happen?
3. Do you try to uninstall the app to see whether solve the matter?
4. Do you ever adjust the setting?
So far as I know, installing the Chinese VOD App, "BEE Video" on my Android 4.2 Sunchip box might either result other app not functional and result internet connectivity issues. when you uninstall the app or clean reset the box, then your android box will back to normal.
Mistakenly adjusted the setting might also corrupt the system and making almost impossible to flash your machine.
My sister in-law's box has never been modified, sometime it's the power has been failed due to some reasons.
Whatever the reason is when your box bricked is bricked, I was gladly that I can put a hand on it and it's fixable. I hope these procedures can help out others to solve their TVPad 4.
Anyone else experienced this issue before?
