I reflashed it a 2nd time and it came back to life (boots properly, for
now!)

I've seen this symptom (sometimes intermittent, sometimes permanent) on a
few similar XO-1.5's.

Seems the internal microSD's are sometimes/likely running out of steam for
mysterious reasons, despite minimal usage (though after ~7 years one cannot
complain, and at least these microSD's are replaceable on the XO-1.5 !)

Thanks James.
