Reply To: GLD 80 freeze

[GCumbee]

April 2013 possibly puts it into the window that I also experienced. My 80 demo unit is of that time. I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with UK to determine my console was an early one with a discontinued upper PC board and touch controller. As they said units from 0-100 were supposed to have the bad board. Mine was 155 but after running the test it revealed that mine did. The circuit board was replaced. So far it has been fine. We noticed that if the touch screen was touched anytime during the boot up process it would freeze right away. Like 8 out of 10 times. That is one way to test it. Also, if you can hookup a USB keyboard and mouse see if it still works when freezing. Also ipad still worked when it froze with me. FTR. Reverting back one firmware version does not solve it. Kernel change with 1.42 can’t be reverted. This problem reared its ugly head with 1.42.

Hope that helps.
