This has been resolved. Thank you.

I got the device in 2025. It worked fined until the end of Jan 2026. There are only 2 mesh devices in my town (mine and my neighbor in the apartment next to mine). I re-flashed to the latest Beta, at which point it would not turn on unless plugged in via USB. I opted to re-flash to the latest Alpha and the same happens. When unplugged from USB power, there is a solid red LED. When plugged in, the device boots up and the red LED changes to a slow flashing white LED. The battery is 100% charged.

2 questions.

First, how do I get this thing to run without being plugged in?

Second, why can my neighbor and I no longer "DM" each other? We can communicate via LongFast and our own personal group, which she created.
