List of known bugs & Feature requests

UNPLUG IT before powering on. To power it on, push the button on the right side with a tool and hold it for 3-4 seconds. Sometimes on the first load, the plugin is crashing, please start it again.
The Tablet will reboot every night at 2pm. 99 % of the problems can be solved with a reboot, Jonas said. If any unsolvable problem occurs, contact German or Jonas in Slack. They have Teamviewer Access to the Tablet.
For the Make Munich take a micro-USB OTG Cable and a usb-Keyboard with you.
