Iriver H10 Scroll pad randomly moving up and down menu

karashata:
I just want to note as an H10 owner myself that I never had any issues with the version 6 bootloader, so I wouldn't be too quick to blame the problems on the bootloader...

Now, mind you, I'm also not using the stock battery anymore since I used to have this issue when I had the old battery and the voltage dropped too low.

I would imagine that you should probably replace the battery with a new one regardless of how well they still seem to hold a charge, if both batteries you tested were stock batteries they're probably old enough to cause this kind of problem anyway.

mjukok:
Well I do have a third non i - river new battery which I charged up last night and fitted today, same result, so I kind of think that discounts the battery.

karashata:
Hm... point seems to go to you on this one so far... I'm sorry I can't be of any help. I just wanted to clear up the potential blame being on the bootloader since I haven't had issues with it...

I have to guess that you have an iriver H10 5 or 6 GB (given the OF versions you mentioned in your first post, since I'm pretty sure the 20GB only went up to version 2.51). Mine is a 20GB, I'm not sure whether that would really make that much of a difference, but it might...

Llorean:
I don't see how that discounts the battery without further information - how old is this battery you just charged up?

There are dozens of people, at a minimum, who've used this bootloader without any problems. Meanwhile, this is a problem known to associate specifically with older batteries. The important part isn't who made them, but how old they are.

Even if the battery ends up absolutely ruled out (something that doesn't seem to have been done particularly effectively - I don't see any battery benches showing the state of the battery) it's still going to end up being something specific to your player, meaning you're the only person who can debug it.

mjukok:
Karashata - thanks for your help, its a 6gb model.

LLorean - Like I said I'm no expert and a battery bench test is something I'm not familiar with, if its run whilst in Rockbox I cannot do it any way as the menu bar goes down the page then up the page and back again like a yo yo without stopping. If you can tell me how to do it I would appreciate your advice. The newer battery is about a year old. I got it new as a back up but had no reason to use and its been in storage.

I do not have the skills required to de-bug Rockbox on my player if that what it does come down to and in that eventuality I would have to fall back on the Iriver firm ware which would be a shame, Rockbox is streets ahead. Given that, eliminating the Bootloader as a source of the problem  ( its the only un-restored piece of software on there) is a logical step for a layman, even if only to eliminate the possibility.
