Thanks for your reply and the support, EvilDragon. I will wait till you get some more LCD's then to save me sending it to you twice.

Would a new case for my Pandora fix the 'wobbly' shoulder button and is there any chance you will be getting any new LCD's (or a one-off order for me)? Mine has a few dead/stuck pixels.

Any chance I will be able to part exchange my Pandora for a Pyra? I would sell it but there are a a few issues with it that I messaged you about, EvilDragon.

Looks good so far but any chance for metal cases as as alternate to plastic? Considering the predicted final cost I wouldn't mind paying extra.

Thank you kindly for your replies and comments. How similar is the Pyra to the Pandora ? Similar enough for you to accept Pandora's in part exchange for the Pyra ? I don't really wan't to get rid of my Pandora but it is need of a little upgrade (like the 1ghz CPU) and some TLC (like a new...

Say for example somebody had the money for a 1 of a kind Pandora. How much more powerful a CPU could be fitted on the motherboard, how much extra ram could you add (maybe faster ram too), and maximum resolution for a screen of the same size ? I understand a more powerful CPU (if possible) would...

Thanks for the help and advice, Jeff. Had a look at Crossover. It runs a few games I have and some of them run quite well. £38 is beyond me financially ATM but i'll look into it when I have more cash to spare. Thanks also for the advice and help, Grench. Ext2 and Mint it is :) .

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately my mind isn't as fertile as it used to be. I used to be into programming a long time ago. I'm 43 now and my first experience of programming was teaching myself to learn BASIC on a ZX81. BBC BASIC was awesome (because of the DEF PROC/DEF FN commands). I miss programming...

Thanks skeezix. I think i'll have a little play with Mint over the weekend. Not sure about Mint4win, though. I know the bootloader is stable but i'm not sure. I'll have to try putting it on a USB stick or using Virtual Box/VMWare first and see if I like it enough. Considering I got a friend who...

Thanks for the advice and your time, Skeezix. Linux installed within Windows ? Do you mean by using a Virtual Machine ? My CPU has HVT (hardware virtualization technology) so I might have a mess around. What's a good distro for beginners ? Mint ? Thanks sswam for the advice and your time as...

Thanks for the advice, Lao Rebel. That card will always stay in my Pandora as I do not intend to use it for anything else. As long as (should things go wrong) I can format it to another filesystem via my PC , EaseUS Partition Manager (or something like it) and a card reader and/or it won't cause...

Thanks, thatgui. I Have tried Ext2 IFS from that link but it's not compatibile with Windoze 7. I've just bought a USB 'A' socket extension cable so I can connect my Pandora up to my PC and I will get it in a day or two so I will try the Pandora's mass storage mode. I'd love to try a Linux Distro...

Thanks for the reply and the advice, Skeezix. If there are any users running Windows that have used ext2 with their SD cards and Pandora's, do I just drag and drop files to the Pandora using USB ? I've noticed that although EaseUS Partition Master will allow me to format in ext2 (cluster size...

I understand that some of you will put Fat32 but I have had issues with the Pandora (random crashes/lockups) which I have mentioned in two previous posts. I have gone and bought a third card just to make sure it is not the Pandora at fault. The first two were formatted in Fat32 but I want to try...

I have deleted the contents of my post as I see that my issues with flashing is being discussed elsewere.

I'm too scared to open it up myself. I have all the co-ordination of a brick and little patience when under pressure so it's probably best that I don't ;) . I've never used a soldering iron (and it wouldn't help me if I had), as my left trigger button just sticks. Big and bulky stuff I can...

Hard to give it out of my hands ? I could cry. I'm even seriously considering sacrificing all my Birthday money to upgrade to the new and faster CPU. I appreciate all the advice and help I have been given here. Looks like I'm gonna have to send it back next week (after one final try at finding...

Sorry, mcobit. I've edited my post a bit to try and simplify things. Could you read it again ? I'm not getting angry and I'm sorry if you or anyone else takes it that way. It's just that i've just got my Pandora after 3 years and 8 months wait and it's mostly unuseable to me. Unless i like...

Mcobit, if you mean the pnd manager that is included with Angstrom, I'm getting MD5 failures with it like I mentioned before. I've already tried two different cards like i've already mentioned as well, unless I am not making myself clear enough. No offence intended if I am. It's when the...

Thanks EvilDragon and WizardStan. Messed around with my Pandora and experienced two hard lockups. Still getting bad md5 chucksums when downloading from the appstore application. I don't seem to be getting anywhere so far. What's going on ? Gonna have to send it back to Craig if no-body has...
