<br>Hi,<br><br>today, my FR suddenly powered down, due to unknown reason (I didn't see<br>a shutdown message). The battery should have had 2/3rds of its capacity<br>left over at that time. I was unable to awaken the device, not even<br>with USB power. Then, I pulled it apart to remove the battery and the<br>SIM card (which I needed back operational ASAP), and hoped to<br>investigate, or conduct software upgrades, with the FR only on USB<br>power. It powered up immediately after pressing the power button, but<br>powered down again while booting, when the kernel log messages were<br>still scrolling over the screen, and could not be powered up again.<br><br>I thought the FR woas supposed to work w/o SIM card and battery while<br>on USB power (eg. for maintenance)? Do I face a hardware problem?<br><br>FWIW, I still didn't advance from 2.6.24+Om2008.12. The device is still<br>a GTA02v6.<br><br>TIA!<br><br><br>Kind
