Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be so easy. Because once you hook the unit up to the PSU it also boots into some kind of charging display. With my unit, this fails, too. So it keeps doing endless reboot cycles once I apply external power. I am afraid if I did that for extended amounts of time, it would do no good to the backlight which goes on an off all the time.

Afterwards, I'll also setup the rsync rootfs backup solution I found on this list. It is, however, sort of disappointing to realize that this apparently is a necessity even with devices which are being operated rather normally. > One question, if R&D is enabled on your device, do you see the green > text with kernel version and other stuff before it hangs?

Yes, when r&d is enabled, I get to see the green text for a while on every reboot. kind regards, Fionn signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] 770 stopped booting
Hi all, today my 770 stopped working. It starts booting with the Nokia logo but something happens before it comes to the point where the "blue bar" appears. Apparently it restarts a couple of times before giving up and switching off (Nokia logo fades away). I did not install new packages recently (within several days), certainly not since my last n770 reboot. I shut down the unit properly last night after some pdf reading when I went to bed. So I /really/ wonder how anything could distort the boot process that hard? I presume if I were a normal customer, this would be the point to return the unit as defective :-/ The unit had the r&d flag enabled. Things I tried: * setting no-lifeguard-reset flag * reflashing initfs * disabling r&d mode * removing the memory card while booting. * removing the battery for an extended period of time (>15 minutes) all of which did not help. Before I reflash the whole thing and lose everything installed I'd like to ask if there are any other ideas worth trying to recover the unit. kind regards, Fionn ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

It is definitely faster than the builtin reader. Unfortunately though, it also fills the available memory faster. Actually, it is pretty unusable without having swap; without swap, the unit comes to an unwanted halt pretty soon, because the engine seems to preprocess pages continuously (which is cool) until memory runs out (which is not so cool). Most of the time, a reset can not be avoided. Maybe it would not be so much of a problem to put an extra check in the code that stops processing pages when memory is low... br, Fionn ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
