just received a C860 and used it one day, rebooted it a few times,
installed lots of software, worked fine,
then it got slow top showed load average of 2.0
and a process apm-idled was taking up all the cpu (as system)
I rebooted, and it went through the shutdown phase but halted near end,
I hard reset it (i.e. battery out),
then i watched it come up to the red SHARP letters for 5 minutes and do nothing,
i hard reset again, do that at 5 times, and finally i think just because maybe i left it for
about 5 min. it went to next screen (CG Silicon) grey steely screen,
then then it sat for 10 min. and thus i went back to \"hard reset\"
doing that many more time and never getting past red SHARP screen.
Now i am frustrated, so i staart looking at my option for a
reflashing, and i try two approaches posted her about the \"service menu\",
and neith works (which is bad not only for my immediate trouble, but also, how am i going
to flash it with a new ROM later if i can\'t even get to service menu?)
when i follow the D&M method i just get same red SHARP screen,
Is the C680 diff. from the C700/750/760 that much that it has a whole
diff. way to get into service? YIKES!!!
It there something i am missing with respect to a \"hard reset\" ?
I just \"hard reset\" for about the 30 times , and now i get it to go to the next
screen \"CG Silicon\" but again its stuck .
Clearly the C680 is doing something as it is progressing along,
all be it at a snails pace, and rather randomly....
HELP!!
I am wondering if one need to have a flash/sd card in for D&M service
menu to work?
If so can i get one, put files on it (from windows or linux box) and then
proceed to save my Zaurus?
