Hello,
So, the Pandora arrived yesturday. I haven't had time to really check it out completely quite yet, but, as expected: Looks and feels awesome. I'll only get SD cards for it today (maybe today, depending on, once again, available time :-( ), so there hasn't been much chance to use it yet...
However, quick testing shows the right nub definitely does not work.
In Pandora input tester the left nub gives OK results, right one never moves from 0-coordinates. I've tried pushing it to extreme positions slowly, quickly, rotating etc. to get it to calibrate.
But movement doesn't help.
During the initialization phase I tried to use it as a mouse, but it didn't work. At the time I figured it just wasn't configured for mousing yet. Before trying the input tester, I tried to set it up as a mouse and at that time it did give some random response, which, however, just caused the pointer to float to a corner of the screen by itself slowly and then stay there. After that I restarted the Pandora and since then: nothing.
I tried to leave the unit without the battery overnight to see if that would reset something, but that did not help.
So, any suggestions or ideas?
Addition:
Suggestions and ideas can also consist of stuff which involves opening the Pandora and soldering... assuming that is OK without voiding warranty in Pandora's case.
Basically I appreciate any ideas that might save me time looking for the problem and I'm ready to diagnose this myself as far as possible before sending it back, because the right nub probably won't get that much use at least in the beginning.
