Yah its not like I downloaded a bios from some site and installed it. I did it through the device manager, it looked it up from the server and automatically downloaded and installed it. So Teclast put the wrong bios on their server and now anyone with a A5C6 will brick their device if they follow the standard bios update procedures. It’s kinda terrible.

I also can’t contact Teclast or Gearbest (the site I bought it from) because of glitches on their site.

Same thing happened here. I have the A5C6, figured I’d check if there was an update using this method. There was and it downloaded, restarted, seems like it was installing fine and now its hard bricked. I had 100% battery before so I’m pretty sure that wasn’t it.

Kinda sucks…I’ve tried holding power button alone, and with volume buttons for extended periods of time, and nothing. Leaving it plugged in now for a few hours, still nothing. Looks like its dead.
