  • does the power light come on immediately when pressed (ie, before the system boots), or is it only active after boot has started (eg, wouldn't work if there was no SD card present)?
Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.
And to answer:
  • I haven't tried it with my Glo HD, but neither the Touch or Glo would boot without a card.
  • The dancing squares are displayed after the root partition has been accessed. From memory, it is displayed by /etc/init.d/rcS.
  • The power light on the Glo HD only comes on when you turn the device on. It comes on steady for a couple of seconds and then flashes until about the time the dancing squares are displayed.
  • I would expect the power light to come on if the SD card was missing. I think it would stay on steady for a few seconds and then shut off. There has been reports of behaviour like this for people who couldn't get the device going.

Have you tried starting it with the power connected? That's about the only thing I can think of.
