Okay now, I have had some sleep, my PW3 was dead (turned off when the battery voltage became too low to continue).

I plugged it into a charger, then the display lit up, and it immediately display the "dead battery" display, then turned off, with the charging LED illuminated in amber. This is how it is SUPPOSED to behave with a dead battery. It charged for about five minutes, and then it booted to the diagnostics screen, but with the frontlight LED turned completely off. I peeled the bezel up to verify that yes, the LEDs are off (I needed to install that bezel because at full frontlight brightness it was painful to look at my PW3 without it).

I am curious at this behavior, because after UNINSTALLING the coward's rescue pack, it display "** CRP **" during bootup, but then booted to the main GUI framework anyway, so I was able to use KUAL to launch my video player battery draining test (with a bit of touchscreen difficulty). And even more curious now, because it was in main when the battery died, and now it is in diags (while plugged into the charger).

That seems contrary to design, and therefore I am unsure how to proceed. It acts like CRP is still installed after I attempted to uninstall it, but the "naughty" behavior ceased.

Now what? I will need to get in there with SSH and study it to see what is going on. But first, I will let this PW3 charge its battery until it shows a green LED.

What I find strange is that every couple of minutes the screen flashes white and then it redraws the diags menu. I just touched the screen (not on a menu item) and it switched to a "Suspend mode" diags screen, as I had mentioned previously in this thread. Perhaps that is a battery saving feature. At least it is not "diags boot looping" any more.

I installied the jailbreak, and the rescue pack and CRP from NiLuJe's collection of downloads. The uninstall was from a recent download from that same location.

Any suggestions what to look for after this device is charged, or how I should install things differently, or what steps I should try next?
