internet tablet problems
Mar. 26th, 2009 09:54 amI really need to start using LJ again for things other than archiving my twitter splurge. So, I'm starting with this: issues with my Nokia 770.
So far, I really have been loving it. In the last week, though, I've been having a weird problem where it just turns off and won't turn back on properly. Power gets drained and after I charge it, the thing reboots non-stop, until I yank the battery and try again. The last time, I finally got it to stop and thought I solved it by reformatting the swap for extended virtual memory.
Not so! After being on for three days with no problem, I went to read last night and the same problem was occurring. Couldn't get to stop rebooting this morning and finally just yanked the MMC card. That got it to stop. So, I'm thinking I need a new memory card. Serves me right for buying some weird brand, anyway. I looked on eBay and there are some overseas vendors that still carry brand names (Kingston) for $9, so I've picked one up. In the meantime, I've reformatted my current card to FAT32 (it was FAT) and am recreating the swap right now. Wonder if that'll help at all.
I have no idea where the power drain is coming from. I'm going to guess it's from the card. I wish there was some sort of indicator when the power is down to the end, but there really isn't. Meh.
In other news, Carlos is back in town and hanging out at my house. Not sure what we're doing today, but I'm sure Twilight watch&mock will be involved.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smashedrecords will probably be by later, as will Alpi. Apparently they all want at the pear & gruyere pie.
