    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Some real developments at last as, after almost 2 and a half months, I finally have my unit back! I updated straight away to Super Zaxxon Final and everything seems fine with the little testing I've done so far. I asked ED or Askarus to comment on what the fix was but no info so far. One thing...

    Is my battery in need of replacement?

    I also have my Pandora out for repair for a couple of months and I'm wondering about what my battery's state will be as well... I don't have any answers but, how did you keep your battery while you waited for the repair? Did you put in the fridge like the user manual says...

    1GHz units, Classic units, repairs and TV-Out Cables (2012-08-24)

    I too am among the ranks of those waiting for a repair (http://boards.openpa...rop-from-table/) so Askarus' efforts are really appreciated! Since b_o_b mentioned a case upgrade (those platinum ones? are they more robust or better someway?)...I always had trouble with the back cover hinges -...

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Thanks for the tip! I've pretty much given up on email. I've seen much better better response times over the forum (PM or otherwise). Last I've heard from ED was on July 19th with no real status. I think it's been hard for him to get it back on his radar after he got back...

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    One month and counting since the unit was received at ED's and still no updates... :(

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Bump. I know that the team is very busy and I wasn't expecting a fast resolution but, it would be nice to get a ETA on this or just a status update. I know the unit was received at ED's place over two weeks ago now... Thanks!

    GOG games that run on Pandora

    I haven't tried that many but, obviously a lot of the GOG dos game releases should work using DosBox on the Pandora with more or less effort. For example, Master of Orion works pretty well. You might also want to try Populous, Sim city, Settlers, Star Control, Gobliiins, Master of Magic, Jagged...

    Thanks ED. Just shipped it to you as a insured DHL package. It should arrive in a couple of days.

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Tried that along with the best my clumsy hands could do with the lcdcable - no hint of a picture to be seen. There's no noticeable activity going on except for the power on led and the occasional audio amplifier "boing" sound. Thanks anyway...

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Yes, no soldering experience here and I'm not very handy dealing with small parts either so I'm definitely sending it to ED. Since I'm also in Germany, it shouldn't take too long. Thanks p.s. I suppose I wont ship with the battery, or do you need it back in case we go for a replacement unit?

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Thanks for the quick replies, guys! Unfortunately trying to adjust the LCD cable is getting me no where (same results) and that loose part actually detached from the PCB completely so it's looking like a better idea to send it over. :(

    Pandora dead after drop from table

    Hi all, I think my Pandora is beyond forum help at this point but I thought I'd post here so people in similar situations can benefit and everyone can comment. I've had my Pandora for just over 3 months now (mid March 2012). I was generally happy with my purchase aside from some minor build...

    Release Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - FreeHeroes2 - Release

    Does this release (FreeHeroes) support intros and campaign mode from the original game? I have HOMM2 Gold from GOG and if using the data files from it I don't get either of those to appear. If these are supported, could somebody give me some tips on how to setup things properly? Thanks! Edit...

    xcom no sound

    I'm on Super Zaxxon Beta 5a and also had a lack of sound when I tried X-COM. Then I realized I wasn't using v1.4 (download the v1.4 patch and unzip into your game folder) and also hadn't run the setup in dosbox. I setup mine to use the first options on the list for music and sound effects. As a...

    Shipping costs will factored into the final payment email which I (and apparently many others) haven't received yet.
