<![CDATA[M5StickC Plus2 not booting]]>My stick is unresponsive. If i hold the power button, the internal green LED stays on whilst i'm holding the button but the screen doesn't come on. After i let go a red light quickly flashes and turns off. I tried burning the original firmware, but it got to 36% and then showed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "esptool_init_.py", line 1314, in main

StopIteration

A fatal error occurred: The chip stopped responding.

Any firmware i try to install gives the same error message. I also tried installing 3rd party firmware through web installer and it installed successfully, but still didn't turn on. I bought it less than 1 year ago from official website linked aliexpress page. It doesn't have any damage.
