    Have you given up hope on it - or do you think it's fixable?

    If the Avia chip is fried it can go into a boot loop, do you see any Green/Pink screens?

    As said above could be a hardware fault. Did you use IFA and if so what did the logs say? If it is looped then it may be a hardware issue.

    Cant remember exactly what the log said, but it kept repeating itself.

    Without looking at your bootlog it looks like the front processor is gone. I would sell it on for parts, but that's your call ;)

    And if it's fixable I'll take it! (For reasonable price of course!) :)
