Any chance someone can give me a step by step on how to do this, i have already looked at the Disabling screen saver thread, but i don't really understand the process outlined there & am a little nervous that i may screw things up if i proceed with it.
Thanks.
I do recall seeing a thread about that some time ago to easily disable screen blanking. I'll do some searching and see if I can dig it up because I need to do that too again since I've reflashed =)
I'll break it down for you once I find how to do so myself.

To fix the screen blanking issue you're experiencing all you have to do is this:
Open Terminal from the Pandora's main menu
Type the following:
[ Don't yell at me for using a GUI text editor here =P ]
"sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
^without the quotes of course
Scroll to the bottom and add this:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
EndSection
PLEASE NOTE:
There is a certain alignment you need to put everything in with tab indents. Off the top of my head I'm not sure of the proper paragraph formatting. You will notice above the part you pasted there are things already written there, use those as a proper guideline.
Scratch that, its two tabs between each item, and one tab before Option. In other words your addition should look like this:
Section "ServerFlags"
[TAB]Option[TAB][TAB]"BlankTime"[TAB][TAB]"0"
EndSection
After you're sure you've done that properly hit file save from mousepad's menu and close out.
Reboot to test and make sure nothing went horribly wrong.
In case of emergency if your unit hangs for quite some time before dropping back to a terminal looking interface, please don't panic.
All you have to do from there is login with the same username and password you have been, and use nano to edit xorg.conf back to its original state. (or if you want, playing with it until you get the indentations right)
"sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" <-- Again without the quotations
scroll to the bottom there using the dpad and either fix the typos or undo your changes.
Once done, hit cntrl+o and Enter to save the changes and cntrl+x to exit.
After that to reboot from a command line type: sudo reboot
One way or the other all should be well. =) Good luck!
