Hi all, has anybody experienced the following with the new 1.5 FW ?

Yesterday I was reading a PDF when suddenly, while reading , the screen went completely blanc. Although the capacative buttons still seemed to work (leds flashing ...) they had no effect at all. So I did a reset, but this got stuck perpetually with the bullet circling around the iRex icon. A second reset : same result.

I then hooked the device up to the power mains and that reset worked. Phew. So probably it was a battery related issue but then the battery was topped up and I had only read for an hour or so (with not too many page turns). Maybe the (re)callibration that is supposed to happen at some point after loading FW 1.5 had something to do with it?
I was in full screen mode but I don't see how that could ever explain why a reset would fail.

cheers,
Benny
