Ah, some devices show that effect after installation It appears that
sometimes there is 0.05mm missalignment of the display cover of
the case with something other. If you remove the display cover
or snap it back almost completely, the AUX works. If you snap it in the
last mm, it get stuck.

And in that situation the AUX button is already pressed. This
may also be a reason for the problem.

BTW: what happens if you try to boot w/o SD card? If it is a newer
GTA04A4 board it should come with Debian/LXDE preinstalled
completely in NAND flash.

If that also does not work, it needs a RS232 (or to be returned)
for further analyses of symptoms.
