Folks,
I bought this unit off ebay a few months ago. It is a classic one running at 600 Mhz. It was running fine until a few weeks ago it refused to boot and then went into that loop thingy where it starts up, displays the logo, then restarts. Symptoms like in this thread: http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/8426-battery-completely-dead/
I tried all the things described in this thread - charging for days between my two batteries, plugging charger without battery - no luck, it`s stuck in that loop. Occasionally I could enter the boot menu and choose other kernels but it always dies/restest afterwards anyway.
I`m totally gutted to be honest, since I always wanted one, could never afford it, and only splurged on this purchase as a 40th b-day treat...damn...just when I totally fell in love with DosBox EX :/
Any input would be greatly appreciated, perhaps somebody has any idea as to what could be causing this (the aforementioned thread is kinda unresolved) and/or if there`s any chance of repairing this unit.
Thanks
