Pretty much. It's been slow booting up and locking up (the browser) for awhile - I remember thinking after I'd installed something that it seemed slower, but I can NOT remember what it was.

Yes you are right, took out the cards, battery etc no help. The browser had locked up the whole thing, when I pulled the battery for about 3 minutes and then the sucker wouldn't boot back up.

Didn't remember that I could flash without it booting up, so I did this morning and reloaded a backup - a month old - but had most of what I had set up.

I KNOW it is a piece of software - as, like said earlier, I remember loading something and thinking how much slower it was, (this was alos about the time I added an 8gb HC SD card, BUT for now it's booting up within a minute and running dandy, so....
