SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

The button is configured to point to an .lnk file, which is a shortcut to a program that is installed into a folder that is based outside of the device's internal RAM. Because of the powered-off state of the device, the device has not yet initialized any external cards or add-ons, and this can cause the device to appear to hang.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, move the program to a folder location that is based in the RAM of the device.
