We have consistently had similar problems in Nepal. I think it is a
hardware problem.
The core of the problem has yet to be identified but it certainly has
hardware aspects.
Here at 1cc we still don't have many units

I've seen this as an increasing problem on my personal XO, which gets
quite a bit of heavy use, as evidenced by the some what polished area

Perhaps. I'll have to check with wad and see if we
