I don’t think that any of us on the list feel you wasted our time. On the contrary, we are actually happy [yes, really] to be of some assistance. We are glad that you worked it out. We all enjoy learning from each other.

I figured let me see the images stored on the wiki work any better then the ones I have my SD card. It appears they do. I load up IntSol now, and when I shut the M102 off... it doesn't clear the ram. Rex manger stays in place.It appears the whole problem boils down to a bad image. I'm a bit embarrassed that the problem was so... simple. I'm sorry I wasted your time on this. That is interesting about the printer cable supplying enough power. Thank you all for your time and your help Keith On Sat, Aug 1, 2015 at 12:30 PM, Bob Pigford <[email protected]> wrote: I agree with John about being careful to unplug all cables, including NADSBox. Even an attached printer cable can provide enough power to fool a cold reboot and the memory power switch. That one had me confused many times, but I learned (albeit slowly).

That is exactly what I did. Second I, turned the memory switch (under the laptop) off for 9 or so hours. After 9 hours turned it back on and same result. Just to clarify when you are trying to drain the power you need the memory power switch off, no batteries in compartment and no cables whatsoever connected. It really doesn't take much to keep the memory partially intact.
