My 770 spontaneously reboots every now and then, but never turns itself off. (I habitually charge it every night. Well, used to, before I got a N800). My mother sometimes has problems turning on her 770. I hold the power button for a few seconds, release it, and it boots fine. There appears to be a trick to it: if you hold the power button too short, it won't come up; if you hold it too long, it won't power on either. Sometimes it seemed that I had to plug in a charger to get it to see the power button presses, and I usually attributed that to an empty battery. My N800 appears to be very stable. It rebooted once (lifeguard reset due to crashed dsp_dld). Interesting: /var/lib/dsme/stats/lifeguard_resets claims I had three reboots (due to dsp_dld, maemo_af_desktop and dnsmasq). I never noticed the other two. Marius Gedminas -- Unix gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
