Please upgrade to Q4D38. > Quickest tested method is http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware Let me try that... Upgrading firmware said "USB drive" so I placed bootfw.zip on usb drive. It did quite a show, but I believe it said that my firmware is up to date? It all ended with "activation lease not found" message. Let me retry? Same result. Let me try "upgrading firmware" with SD card. It seems to work with SD card. Holding down both "yes" and "no" keys during boot results in more useful messages... good. I have now updated firmware, and it even fixed my previous boot problem. Good. Thanks!
