I am sorry if this is the wrong forum, but my questions seemed not to fit any of the others according to the posting policies I found in them. I hope I am in the right place.
Yesterday, I connected my e260R to the USB cable in order to copy some files over to it. I used the normal process I always do, turning it off and then connecting, and then mounting it on my filesystem. After I copied the files and got things where I wanted them, I umounted, waited for it to disconnect, and then unplugged it. Normally, this would, after a very brief pause, prompt a screen saying something about rebooting or restarting (I can't remember which) and it would then do so. However, on this occasion it simply went black and very, very dead. No buttons did anything at all. If I plugged it back in it would boot into the original firmware and then be mountable again, but upon disconnect it would simply go black again. I went through this several times, hoping it would respond eventually, but had no luck. I finally pulled the battery, as a last ditch, and fortunately that seemed to kickstart it.
I am wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else. And what could cause it? Is it hardware related perhaps, or could it be the firmware, either original or rockbox?
Thanks for any help.
