man oh man oh man... this sucks.

whenever i hit any button on my clie when it's off, it powers on and immediately says fatal exception and freezes.  when i soft reset, everything looks fine.  but when i turn it off, there's no turning it back on... not even with the power button.

i've tried a hard reset with a hot sync restore and i've tried a hard reset with a ms restore.  i've deleted all my hacks and even x-master.  i've deleted diddlebug and i'm in the process of deleting PiDirect II...

WHAT'S WRONG?:confused::confused::confused::confused:

It seems like this problem is happening more and more. That is what was happening on my older T615C. I ended up getting a new T665C, since the T615C was out of the 90 day warranty that refurbs get. You should call Sony and have them fix it.

really... this is interesting, i hadn't heard about it before.  it's infuriating isn't it? 

i actually bought mine at circuit city, and i can return it until jan. 31... but of course the SJ30 is discontinued now and no one has them in stock.  and the T665 is now selling there for 3-frickin-99!! that's nearly 100 bucks higher than anywhere else. so i think i may take it back and wait for the SJ33 to come out at the end of february. 

a good excuse to upgrade, but i don't know how i'll last an entire month with out my clie.

yeah, i saw that.  free shipping, too.

but i'm on the fence about the t665.   the sj30's superior battery and more pocketable case pushed me to that.  also don't like the buttons on the 665 (though i wouldn't mind the 66mhz).

really, my preference is to figure out how to fix the one i've got...

anyone? any suggestions? anything at all? sniff? :(
