Anybody gets a "Black Screen of Death"?

It seems my eDGe sometimes just shuts off, even while on AC. This is so rare that it's never really bothered me (nor does it bother me now - having used Windows for 20 years, I'm used to computers doing stuff like that ).

I'll submit a Tech Support help request and see what they say.

Same thing happened to me. I had my edge in tablet mode and turned the screen off via the lock button. Not sure when the LED on the scroll wheel went off but the green light on the power button is on but everything else is dead. I had to pull the batter because shutting it down and then powering it back up did nothing. Interesting. Of course I have a bunch of 3rd party stuff on it so who knows. I will try to keep a log of what I am running if and when this happens again.
