Hello borisb - just thought I'd let you know what happened with my messed-up Minesweeper. I had several days back and forth with Tech Support. First, they had me roll back to the OS that was in place before the recent Major Update. So I went from COYOTE back to BADGER by running an "update.zip" (special instructions to hold down multiple keys at once, then power button, etc.) That kept my library in place but was supposed to let me get at Minesweeper at the point where it was 3rd party, so I could uninstall it. Didn't work, so I put back COYOTE (by letting the autoupdate do its job). So back to square 1.

But then -- after I turned the edge off, the next day it wouldn't go on again! No blue ball lite up or anything. I thought about it, then removed the battery, waited and put it back in (I treated it like a hung Android phone). That worked and it booted up normally. Minesweeper still not working, of course.

After that I ran another update Tech Support gave me that would take the unit to bare bones, including my library. But before starting it I backed up the library as they suggested (handy app to do that is in the apps group -- I verify it works great!). Then the full install of latest software did its job, and I read back in my library. All I had to set by hand Registration info, my email settings, and PID numbers for Mobipocket and eReader (I use my old ebooks on the LCD side). OK -- success, Minesweeper and all. Tech Support wanted to know the S/N of my battery, though. It isn't supposed to freeze the unit. I am hoping the battery is OK. We will see...
