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?

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

Well, one time out of 1000 ain't something to crow about, but I'll accept the congrats anyway.

Thanks, Andy!! Laughing
