Xiaomi Mi Box S System Corrupt

by Dudefoxlive

Hi, I have got a Xiaomi Mi Box S for Christmas as it was a neat little device that ran Android TV which I wanted to try out. Well just a few minuets ago I was using it and watching youtube and it froze and reloaded to the android boot screen. Well this has happened before so I pulled the plug and let it reboot back into Android. Well after that it gave me a green screen on youtube. Pulled the plug for a minuet and problem solved. Well now I was watching youtube and it rebooted and booted into recovery mode and said that my system was corrupt. Now i'm wondering what in the world is going on with my Mi Box S. I know this devices is supposed to get Android TV 9 and I think some of the problems are related to the specs being a little on the low/bad side. I think the RAM is being hit to capacity and it causing the rebooting thing. Either way should i be worried?

If you got it for Christmas it should still be under warranty. As already suggested I would return it if I were you.

Freezing and rebooting commonly point to a power supply problem.

Either you have faulty hardware or have a Vampire power sucking, old 2.5" USB Hard Drive(s) attached that is drawing too much power from the Mi Box.

Take the device back to the shop would be my suggestion.

Hard to tell, could be a ram issue, or a power supply issue.

If you have warranty, try to get an exchange or refund.

Also I cannot recommend the Shield more highly over anything else, in the end you get what you pay for. I have been using the Shield now for 5 years, still getting updates and it has never ever failed on me.
