Thank's tribble,

now I am at work, but in the evening I will put your file into the notes folder.
After testing I'll write a message just here.

this is the final confirmations: iliads exist.

R2D2 · 07-17-2006, 09:21 AM

Do you need help ?

R2D2 · 07-17-2006, 10:01 AM

Yes, because absolutely nothing happens...

tribble · 07-17-2006, 10:08 AM

you have to push the on switch to the left for 2 seconds. Then it starts booting. Youll notice when the green led in the top left corner flashes.

Apparently I am stupid:

There is the circular button in the upper right corner. Pressing it - short or long - lead to nothing.

Then there are the navigation buttons on the left hand side of the device. Nothing happens when you press them too.

Finally there are the folder button at the bottom of the device. Nothing happens there as well.

When plugging the iLiad to the travel hub and the travel hub to the power outlet the LED will be red. But as I said: Nothing else happens.

So what am I doing wrong???

tribble · 07-17-2006, 10:17 AM

yes, on the bottom of the device is a little silver switch. it says on/off next to it. You have to push that to the left for 2 seconds to turn the iliad on (or was ist 2 seconds to turn it off) but that should work. My battery was quite full, when i got it. So you should be good to go.

High 5 · 07-17-2006, 10:36 AM

There are two kinds of people.

The ones who read manuals carefully, do everything by the numbers and look up everything before trying anything.
Then there are the ones who get a new device, start fiddling with buttons, press anything that can be pressed, immediately start poking the innards with screwdrivers and who only get a manual when things get rough.

Now the first ones know how everything (should) work, they've got it all figured out.
Nothing ever goes wrong with these people.

The second kind work in places like Chernobyl, the bridge of the Titanic and at the landingpost of the Hindenburg.
They have much, much more fun!!

R2D2 · 07-17-2006, 10:39 AM

Thanks, I got it. Now I can even read the manual which tells me where the power switch is...

Actually, you can't blame him. He doesnt have a manual. Its on the iLiad, which he has to turn on, to be able to read, how to turn it on

And the on/of switch is well hidden next to the connector port. You dont easily recognize it a son/off switch. And even then, pressing it will probably only break the device. You have to push it to the left, and if you have large hands, you will have to ask your little neighbours kids to do it for you

But once the power management is ready you shuld almost never need to turn it on/off agein

MUAHAHAHAHAH

Actually the easyest way is to take the pen out and use it to push the button.

Don't remenber if i ever showed it on one of the videos
