Dear friends, my beloved Pandora is very sick.
It has its original software (Hotfix5) in the NAND, and I usually run it from SD card.
It is one of those with bad original wifi, and has a usb dongle supplied.
Running from SDcard worked well for two or three earlier hotfixes, but
while running Hotfix7 Beta1.1 with kernel 3.2 it went into this unresponsive and
unstoppable state. It shows on its screen a blue pandora box 1.5 cm across for about
7 seconds then offs it for about 7 seconds.
It flashes up a start screenthe one with the name of the version (Hotfix5) very briefly
about 14 seconds apart, but sometimes delays longer than that. Sometimes the screen
gives stripes or a blank area. The only way to stop it is remove the battery.
(Another problem is that I can't charge the battery.)
So - what should I do?
I triedl to flash NAND with SuperZaxxon-B1.zip; but am unable to make the SDcard
on the Pandora. I used Linux on PC.
When I tried it, on several occasions I was able to read bits of text which said
something like "boot.scr" (Thus I thought it had at least in part read the card.)
and another like "start kernel Legacy.." Not good at all.
Hoping for some help,
claregj
