I rest my case!
And repeat myself, this is terrible design.

And yet, it is so easy to avoid any warranty questions, despite the fact that this is a device fault.

1) the recovery did work before I turned the device off and went to sleep, with intention of dd recovering next day.
2) next day when turning on, nope, no recovery

I believe that this may be due to the battery drained somehow during night. But it seems impossible to charge it (tried leaving it on fastboot for a day in wall charger).
I cant get a spare battery. So I cant be sure of this.
