Well, a friend had a broken max that would not switch on.
We suspected the sd card could be corrupt / damaged, so as a test I dd'd my card on a pc in linux and sent him the image (approx 2gb zip).
He dd'd it back onto a 16gb micro sd card.
The tablet now works, but with the same serial number / ID as mine. Also the language is not correct for his locale.
The storage is still reported as 8gb, as that's how the disk is configured. It may be possible to reconfigure but I've never tried.
