Hi all,

I had got my meowbit yesterday, but it seems the meowbit bootloader page not always shown when I press the reset button and with USB cable connected to PC. Is that normally the bootloader screen will appear by just pressing the reset button once? or hold for several seconds?  
Now my meowbit stuck with black screen and shown as USB drive…neither in “PYBFLASH” nor “Arcade-F4” mode.

I am not sure whether it is my own PC problem or is the meowbit problem (coz I could still able to connect to micro:bit and other USB portable disk)

Thanks in advance~

Pong

I know. But there’s other people who might be asking the same question.
