Hey guys, new to the site. Having a problem TSC3 controller. Worked fine up until today. Battery went dead, swapped it out and when it went to reboot it's stuck on a white screen with the following message "Bootloader V12011309?ÿ Error: no boot partition found. Windows CE not loaded.

It won't come away from this screen. Tried pulling the battery numerous times to no avail. I've gotten pretty good at replacing screens, radio module and even a motherboard once so I tore it apart to check for any lose wires (gave it the nintendo blow) nothing I can see is wrong internally. My fear is that the motherboard (cheapest I can find is 700$) is gone. I'm hoping someone knows some sort of combination of keys to reboot in safe mode or something so I can try to wipe it clean and see if that helps.?ÿ

Thanks in advance

-Matt

Looks to me like it has been wiped clean, too clean.

The Operating System is finding nothing at all in the file system to start from.

Effectively the disk is blank 🙁

Sounds like a TSC7 may be needed to fix that error.

Try reinstalling the operating system in the link below.?ÿ The instructions are there as well.?ÿ Do know that this will completely wipe the hard drive.

I just got the same problem, reinstalling the OS is hitting a dead end on my side since even the controller is no longer detected on my pc
