The Cobra DC5200 may stay on the logo screen due to issues such as low or improperly installed batteries, a corrupted memory card, or internal software problems. Make sure the batteries are fully charged and correctly inserted, and try removing or replacing the memory card. If the issue persists, it may require a reset or technical service.
