Device failure after one use.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for a present so it stayed unopened in the return period which was only two weeks. Once opened it turned on once and then wouldn’t power on again after that. Probably a failed motherboard from what I’ve read online. Beyond devastated.
