Maybe it needs more power? I read somewhere about booting the FR takes more amps than the USB power alone can provide, but the wall charger provides about 2x more power than the USB connected to a computer can.
If you've already tried the wall charger, then disregard. -Laura ________________________________ From: Toni Mueller <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 9:19:15 AM Subject: Device somehow powered down - would not power up again Hi, today, my FR suddenly powered down, due to unknown reason (I didn't see a shutdown message). The battery should have had 2/3rds of its capacity left over at that time. I was unable to awaken the device, not even with USB power. Then, I pulled it apart to remove the battery and the SIM card (which I needed back operational ASAP), and hoped to investigate, or conduct software upgrades, with the FR only on USB power. It powered up immediately after pressing the power button, but powered down again while booting, when the kernel log messages were still scrolling over the screen, and could not be powered up again. I thought the FR woas supposed to work w/o SIM card and battery while on USB power (eg. for maintenance)? Do I face a hardware problem? FWIW, I still didn't advance from 2.6.24+Om2008.12. The device is still a GTA02v6. TIA! Kind regards, --Toni++ _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
