Wierd or what?
Everything works fine EXCEPT:-
Exactly every 2 minutes it switches to Demo mode and I have to tap the screen to get back to where I was.
Have tried the business card trick round the edges to no avail (but didn't think that would help as it's almost on a timer switch)
Have also tried clearflash.
730 with 8.351 |

Are you sure it is demo mode or is it a demo of features in the unit? Just for the heck of it, use Explorer to make sure there are no files in the scripts folder; if there are, delete them.
Also, tried a reset on the unit? _________________ David |

Has it behaved in this way ever since you bought the device as it sounds like its been set up for shop demo mode to me - There is a file on the device that can cause this demo script to run but I can't remember the file name for the life of me - I hope this might trigger someone in to remembering the file and which folder its in - Mike |

Well done that man and a big thanks!!!
It was the actual Demo of features mode.
The script folder had 33 numbered GO UK-EN.bmp's plus a liblua.so a salesdemo.script & a thumbs.db
Deleted them all & sorted. Thanks again |

Thanks, Andy!! _________________ David |
