OK. This is a weird one:

After two or three months of normal and trouble free operation of my N810 all of the sudden it reboots whenever I touch the screen!!!

The device boots and seems to work normally if it is operated only using the keyboard, but the moment I touch the screen I get the well known Nokia logo and the device reboots.

It is even more strange that during the boot procedure and while the Nokia logo is displayed if I touch the screen the device reboots again.
If I do not touch the screen at all, the device boots up normally ending up to the Hildon desktop, but the moment I touch the screen I get one more boot cycle, and so on....

As I said, the device is normally operated through the keyboard until the screen is touched. Of course one can not do so many things with the keyboard only (not even launch an xterm) but I noticed that if I invoke the Home menu and choose Calibrate screen nothing happens (a possible additional indication of the erratic behavior)

This behavior started after I copied a couple of pictures from my pc to n810 using usb cable. When I removed the cable from the unit and touched the screen, I got my first reboot followed by the behavior I described before. I also removed the battery for more than an hour with no apparent results.


Searching the forum, I didn't find any similar situations so any suggestion is welcomed. I thing that I will not manage to avoid a reflash, but at least I would like to be able to launch xterm (using keyboard only) so I can have a backup before I flash by unit.


Thanks in advance
