Since I updated my firmware to SuperZaxxon Beta 5, I can no longer boot from NAND without a battery in my pandora. After the pandora-logo fades out, the screen goes black (including backlight) and the power-LED goes out. Pandora putton + power switch doesn't do anything.


Only way to make it light up again is to replug the charger. The weird thing is that .next boots fine from SD-card and the firmware flasher still happily starts up. Is this normal?


This is kinda inconvinient since my pandora is unusable with the battery plugged in due to failing case causing bad battery contact compression :/
 
Try to hold the right shoulderbutton and boot into the old kernel. I had a similar problem, when my battery went flat.


With the old kernel and brightness to a minimum, I was able to boot it.

Yes, it seems it will boot the old kernel. And after that, it no longer shuts down when booting the new kernel, it just freezes. This is weird :|


EDIT: Second try: Now it shuts down again if I try to boot the new kernel.
