| I just recieved my laptop today. It's the same as what every other windows ce 6.0 laptop people are talking about.
It's the 300mhz Via VT8505 proc. laptop 128mb ram, bla bla bla....
I turned it on, and I found it is broken -.-.
It just stays at the "loading OS" screen and doesn't move or do anything. I left it there for an hour..........
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I tried throwing it at the wall, punched it a few times, and said some nice/bad words to it, but it still didn't work.

| If I got one and it didn't work out of the box...I'd send it back so quick it would make your head spin...
I just bought one of those refurbished Augen eGo Netbooks, and while it is only CE5, it has exceed all of my expectations so far...running lots of my HPC software without any problems.
I know you don't want to hear that dribble, and you are frustrated. I'm sure you already tried the soft reset stuff...so if it isn't working, then you got one of the bad ones.... |

| There is also a restore image, i saw it mentioned on a thread, perhaps just a reflash will do it?
Here is a random google, im sure there are other ones too : http://www.fixya.com/support/t4018643-epc_smart_book_note_book_r_nEdited by thcrw739 2010-04-05 6:13 PM

Mine does that occasionally. It also occasionally doesn't start the bootloader at all when powered on. (Both happen very rarely. ) I just hold down the power button until it powers off, and then power it on again, making sure nothing is plugged into the USB ports and even removing the SD card until the boot is complete.
The thread thcrw739 mentions is here:

| nope. I can't get youtube to stream, but some online youtube downloaders still works for those mini laptops.
So, just find the youtube vid you want (url) and use one of these youtube downloaders. |

This may be a real stupid question, but are you clicking or double clicking? |
