Most GKD Mini Plus problems come from the system microSD/TF or from flashing a CFW image that lacks a proper Mini Plus profile. Start with a forced power-off and a card check, and on CFW make sure the RK3566 build actually supports this device. The RK3566 handles up to PS1 well, with partial N64/DC/PSP.

FAQ

Black screen after flashing CFW.
The build may not match the Mini Plus. Re-flash the stock image, then use a CFW that explicitly lists the Mini Plus or the correct RK3566 profile.
Wi-Fi not working on CFW.
RK3566 GKD units sometimes need a device-specific build for Wi-Fi. Verify support, or use the stock OS where Wi-Fi is configured.
