I can see how that could happen, even if rarely. It reminds me of the power circuit failures that happen when you manage to plug or unplug the circuit at exactly the wrong point of the AC cycle. An example is a surge current-related failure when the power supply caps are discharged, and you plug in exactly when the AC cycle is at the maximum---it's hard to test for and therefore sometimes missed by PS designers. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
