This has happened 3 times in the last week, so it would be great if
somebody
knew why it was happening or how to get around it. Here's the problem:
While
testing my app on my Tungsten C, the occasional Fatal Alert comes up (as
happens while testing unfinished applications) so I pull out my trusty
paperclip and press the reset on the back of the device. At which point
the
screen slowly fades, as if it is drawing random pixels until the screen
has
static lines running from top to bottom. Once this happens (and it doesn't
happen every time) the device becomes unresponsive. I can't reset, can't
press any buttons, can't do anything to it. The power button doesn't even
work. I have to wait until the battery totally runs dry, charge it up
again,
and re-sync everything back to the device (thank god for BackupBuddy).
Which
as you can imagine, is quite a pain because I can't test on or use my
personal device again for a long while. This hasn't happened before this
week, and in this week it's happened 3 times. Any ideas or comments would
be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Did you try holding the UP scroller while resetting to switch of reset
launch codes?
.. or it could be a hardware problem.
Alan
I'd go with the 'hardware problem' option. Holding the "up" button
really doesn't make any difference until after the reset starts to
happen, and from the description above is sounds like the reset never
starts at all. One small thing to try is to make sure that no hardware
buttons are physically sticking, such that they block any other actions
from being detected. Bob.
