Printer stuck on start screen

My MK3s is not starting up.  It is stuck at the "Original Prusa i3" screen.  I connected it to my laptop via USB and flashed the new firmware.  The update reports as a success, but it reboots to the same screen.  When I try to factory reset, it seems to reset but locks up on a blank screen after I select my language.  Any suggestions?

The X is not a button

One possible (common) is that you are using the X on the control panel as a "confirm choice" button.  It is not that.  If that is not the case, I think you need to contact prusa support - which is not here (crickets).  To get prusa support, log into the E shop with the account that is attached to your printer.  Once you do that, about ten seconds after the page loads, in the lower right corner, you'll see a glyph for chat support.  That's how to contact prusa support.

While you're waiting for that ... do try this:  Reseat all of the connections inside of the EINSY box with the power disconnected from the machine.  Then close the Einsy back up, and see if the problem has cleared.

Definitely not the X button or the connections.  I will contact support.  Thank you.

Support had me fully factory reset the device, then flash older firmware, then reset it again.  I managed to get the new firmware installed after that.  Contact support if you have trouble after that.
