    try the link again it came up for me,

    In a nut shell you have to open the Maestro and charge the tablet directly on the MicroUSB jack on the tablet with a USB charger for 12 hours or so.

    then put the plugs back in and see if it works and put the covers back together

    I actually bought the correct mating cables and brought the connections out to the External Battery compartment so if this happens again to me I can easily charge it with out opening the case.

    It has been several years since I modified mine and I no longer have the Cable part numbers.

    sorry

  • The original version, like mine, would not power up if left unused for awhile. I had to open it up and recharge the internal battery.

  • I would share my experience with FlexRadio Maestro which did not work suddenly.
    Probably it could help somebody.

    So, I used Maestro during some years without any problems. But in one day I found out it powered off and it would not be powered on again!
    I read all what I can find in Internet! It was really as a disaster for me!
    I tried everything but without success.
    Of course, I could send it to FlexRadio for repair but it is not so easy to do leaving in Kazakhstan!

    I open the Maestro and found out the Dell tablet PC inside! I tried to charge the tablet from separate power supply and even it was working some times! But it has absolutely not worked with Maestro.
    Finally I bought the spare battery for Dell tablet, the original one has been replaced by spare and now my Maestro is working again!

    The spare battery I got from AliExpress because I did not find original Dell battery for this model.

    Please feel free to ask me for any question if you have the same problem.
