Thanks for all the feedback. OK, after a lot of testing and looking through logs I finally accidently stumbled on the problem. It seems to be a HW fault on my B4. Perhaps a dry solder joint, cracked pcb or camera component not seated correctly. If I squeeze the right side of the screen, just below the camera lense, Record-55 starts displaying the video image, sometimes blank, sometimes green/purple, sometimes back to normal. Managed to successfully recorded a video clip while the image was good. I'm reasonably handy with a soldering iron so I'll open up the unit and see if I can see the specific cause. Is there a specific place I should report this HW issue incase it is more than single an unlucky occurrence? --Gary _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
