Hi!

I have a KT, running firmware .17 (not tried to update to 2.0). I'm wondering if anyone else has seen something similar to my experience.

Lately, when I attach my reader to my laptop to move some files over to the microSD card, if the reader is powered off it powers back on, but doesn't ask me if I want to "connect" or "continue", it just goes straight to "continue" (the little power cord shows up on the battery icon). I have to disconnect the cord and reattach it to the laptop in order for the "Continue"/"Connect" dialogue pop up to come up. It didn't do that a week ago.

If it's powered off and I attach it to a USB wall charger, 9 times out of 10 it will ask me if I want to continue or connect.

This has happened before, then it magically starts working again - this time I used the paper clip in the back to reset it and the dialogue popped up again when it powered up, but didn't come back from the "Connected and Charging" screen (again paper clip in the back).

While it's not a big deal - just *really* annoying - I have no idea what I'm doing to bork the thing up.

Anyone else have similar experience?
