### Help! I was doing stuff in the `bios` folder or trying to install a new firmware, and now my SF2000 won't turn on, or is stuck at a black screen!
You've probably run into the bootloader bug - you can [find the two fixes to it below](#bootloader-bug). Alternatively, [follow Data Frog's instructions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8dT2fdGfck) to wipe your microSD card and flash a clean firmware image.
### When I connect the SF2000 to a TV via the A/V cable, the sound is very quiet/low - is that normal?
It's "normal" for newer versions of the firmware, anyway! Older firmware versions had no issues with audio volume via A/V, but at least the `05.22` version does. `Zerter#4954` from Discord found a workaround:
> when I did this the AV audio work normally: I had to load the game first then plug-in the 2.5mm to rca jack. [...] but when I quit then exit then tried the game again it returns to very low audio. [...] will need to do the work around again
So you can try launching the game first, and _then_ plug in the A/V cable to get full volume on the TV.
