<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I looked again at the switch area today
- I don't think the on/off of the switch is between the R46 but only to
the right of it .... the blob of solder on my so-dim is where the
switch makes its connection.... seems very logical to me - switch need
only 2 position for on/off!<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">the left of the R46 is a soldering
position for the switch fixing - i think ... cos on Jon's machine that
position has a switch locating leg bent at 90 degress ...<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Does the netbook boot normally when the
switch is in the opposite direction?<br>

NOO don't do "combinations" - only connect middle-to-left or
middle-to-right don't for god's sake connect all three or connect
left-to-right. so, only connect... red-to-black or red-to-blue.

you really need a total identical copy of jon's NAND, directly copied
to an SD card. there is no formatting required. you require an
absolute total one-to-one complete one hundred percent identical copy
of the NAND, direct and nothing but direct copy, onto a 2gb SD card.
by making a complete and total copy, you are EVEN copying the
formatting information from the NAND flash. therefore, no
"formatting" is required of the SD card.
the procedure i described yesterday _may_ not be getting the
locations of u-boot and kernel etc. correct, thus we need to use jon's
SD card.

hmm... ok, that says one of two things:
a) you've fscked the machine with connecting red-to-blue
b) the SD card procedure i described yesterday is slightly flawed,
the code _is_ getting onto the machine but in the wrong place,
therefore some utterly random instructions are being executed and
blat, random screen crap appears.
i'll try to nail down the process for creating the SD card, test it
out myself, here.
