Here's what happened.
I did the direct page control hack and didn't like it, so I reflashed with the Universal flasher. Everything seems fine.
Next I did the joystick hack with history using the volume buttons.
Everything seemed fine until I connected to my computer a few hours later and found that if the CONNECT software is running the Reader resets itself and continues to reset as long as CONNECT is running. If I disconnect it starts normally. It does it on both my computers, so I don't think it's the Connect software. If CONNECT isn't running I get the usual USB screen.
I've reflashed it with the Universal flasher (clock only) and did the routine to erase everything and return it to factory settings. I also changed USB cables and recharged the Reader with the wall outlet but I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
