I received a new white PB302 yesterday, and I can't seem to get it to work right.

at first boot, the screen was totally garbled, I could hardly make out the bookland.net logo.

when I figured out how to do a firmware update (to see if that might fix things), and I had the power connected, the screen seemed to be just fine. As soon as I'm somehow on battery power again, the screen garbles or is only drawn half (i.e. something is happening on the top half of the screen and nothing on the bottom).
The firmware update did go through correctly, I saw as much.

the device also doesn't seem to switch off, so the last pages of the book, or menu screen, or logo, are always shown.

Has anyone else seen this? should I return the device?
