I couldn't resist picking up a Netbook Pro for $80 on eBay recently. Seemed like a pretty good price, but at the moment I'm wondering if "you get what you pay for" applies. For the first several days, whenever I had to soft reset, all the settings remained as I had set them, but all of a sudden, since a few days ago, every time I soft reset, it dumps the following things:
a
) the owner info;
b
) the sound scheme I created and saved;
c
) the display settings;
d
) the Device ID I've assigned to it
(for ActiveSync
); and
e
) all the .unload files from \Windows
(so that nothing shows in the "Remove Programs" dialog
)
It also no longer recognizes that I've installed .NET CF 2.0 on the device
(even though the files are still in \Windows
), and it won't power on my WiFi card, even though the driver files still appear to be there. There may be other things I haven't identified. A hard reset didn't solve the problem; I tried manually re-inputting a
) through d
) after a hard reset and then soft resetting
(without doing any restore in the process
), and it dumped everything I input again. I'm wondering if there's a persistent registry issue, since it reminds me of the issues I had with the SIMPad I had for just a few days last month. That's just a stab in the dark, though. Anyone else have an idea what's going on?
BTW, I suspect I don't have the most recent ROM image on it, but I'm not sure. The only info I can find are the WinCE, PCon, and BooSt date codes
(H264q, H244q, and G094g, respectively
).
