yes I hear you but my post was directed at skyhax telling the op to open up the controller and re-seat the sd card, no need to do this unless you peer into the vents on the controller and start checking led status, that's it. This is the first thing I do when testing to rule out the controller it could very well be the solo not booting properly as you stated.
So I see the OP did state in the first post the orange led was solid this would indicate a bad boot just like you stated, i missed that, but i was trying to help out rocker not the original poster
