For a CCGX, this is our instruction, and rather than having that as an "On request" instruction sent by the repairs department I'd much rather have it in the manual. Maybe also referred to in the Pre-RMA doc btw.
I would like to ask you to try an update when blue/white screen is shown. (This also applies for Victron screen). If you want to try fixing a unit stuck on a screen using the SD card try the method described here: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:firmware_upgrade_to_v2 If this doesn’t work let us know and we will replace the CCGX.
note: This procedure requires a functional U-boot on NAND flash.
Optional: Picture of the SD card mounted in the slot on the nanopi module.
Meanwhile, the chapters have been added to the manuals.
But what we missed is the EasySolar-IIGX as well as the MultiPlus-II GX; @ReinvdZee can you make & test an instruction for that as well? See mail for the trigger.
@mpvader, I've updated the original comment with instructions for the Multiplus-II GX and Easysolar-II GX.
Instructions on how to access the SD card slots of the Multiplus-II GX and EasySolar-II GX.

Concept text for in that chapter 18.2:
WARNINGS:
before executing this procedure, first try the common factory reset procedure as in the section above above.
only perform this procedure as a last resort: to fix a bricked device. A device that boots fine, but has some strange behaviour in some feature, will not benefit from executing this procedure.
all data on the data partition will be wiped by this procedure. Meaning all settings, and so forth.
this procedure does, unlike to common “reset to factory defaults instruction”, not rely on a properly booting device.
when executed on a Cerbo GX prior to HQ2026, the wifi access point as well as some other (non crucial) feature won’t work anymore; since some factory installed data is missing. Per HQ2026 that data is stored in a more secure place (eeprom instead of data partition).
On the VRM Portal you’ll have to reset the Device token. No new data will be accepted by the portal until that is done.
PROCEDURE:
If there is no GX Touch available, then wait for 2 minutes.
