Hi Folks,
I've experienced an issue with my Pandora that is very similar to the thread here:
http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2229-crash-upon-first-boot/
To summarise:
1.
The first boot it took a *very* long time to 'work'. Flashing green Led on the left. No red led on the right.
2.
Periodically while using my Pandora the screen will very suddenly blank out and display a random pattern of vertical lines in a single colour. Most often this is pink but occasionally it is green. After a short time the vertical bars slowly become white. At this point the Pandora is completely unresponsive (including the power switch) and the battery has to be removed to turn it off.
After cycling the battery in and out 2-5 times it will normally boot up again. Sometimes this takes more than 10 times.
(The vertical lines have never appeared during the bootstrap)
If I leave the pandora powered up it will quite happily display the desktop for hours, it's normally only when I try to do something it will fail. Trying to reproduce these failures can be difficult. Repeating the exact steps will not necessarily cause a crash.
As this issue has been reported several times I was wondering if the cause of the fault is known? Is it a known problem? If the recommended course of action is to return the unit could somebody suggest how I go about doing that.
Cheers,
