Hi duanev

what people in the pass have experience is if power is turned off to the Shield and power is switched back on the Shield will not boot, if the Shield was in the process for doing a factory restore then it gets corrupted.

Right lets try and sort this, When your booting the Shield you must not have an sd card insert, if you do it usually load a very early version of the firmware, could be used to copy over new image files.

Try this
1) make sure no sd card insert
2) factory restart via ping  ( remove poewer hold ping in and then reconnect power continue to hold pin in for  30 seconds)
3) wait 10 minutes
4) can you log in ?

if you can't log in can you take screen shots of the boot process screen via the serial cable

yes the box does get hot and yes i do see the flash when i plug the power lead in,  I usually turn mine off via the wall socket switch.
