Had my second lockup on my Cybook Gen3 last night since I upgraded to version 708. Reboot didn't solve it, charging + reboot didn't solve it. Ended up unplugging the battery & replugging it to solve the problem.

Interesting discovery when I opened the battery compartment. Two of the screws (those inside the battery compartment) were not just loose but fell out on my desk. It was obvious where they came from, apparently were used to tighten the main board to the case. They did not appear to be stripped and tightened correctly.

I am not sure the loose screws (no pun intended & they were on the Cybook, not on me) had anything to do with the lockup but it was an interesting coincidence if they were not related to it.

Anyone else experienced this?
