Sounds similar to what I experienced a month ago (http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-users/2005-November/000201.html). I also changed my .profile and made it unbootable. I had to reflash my device to get it working again. What was also interresting was that it was not able to enter charging mode correctly either. The device reset itself after plugging the power adapter into the device when it was powered off. Peter Westerstr?m Matthew P.
