<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">1. I have solderered 3 wires onto the
area where the switch is meant to be. <br>
2. Have tried open / close circuit on the 3 wires in different config.
using Luke's suggestion for SD card formatting and the data on SD card.<br>
3. I know the LCD is working ... cos if I repeadedly press the power
button ... i get these funny cloudy image appearing and some square
blocks of colours which keep changing in colour and shape ....<br>

Maybe my netbook is alive on some level ...<br>

If that SO-DIMM switch is set then holding the buttons should probably not
be needed to get a boot of the SD card.
On the other hand, as the u-boot on the SD card is identical to the one on
the Nand, I would still expect it to try and do the "firmware upgrade"
thing.

<pre wrap="">I get no SD message, neither blue nor red. If I continue to press and
hold, the logo flickers, then the green bar starts, and then it powers
off (presumably because I have the power button pressed). If I let go
of the buttons when the green bar appears, (it is about 1/3 of the way
along the 'track') then the boot process completes and I can log in.
The mounted filesystem is definitely on the NAND as I can create a
file beforehand in a 'normal' boot, and it's present after this
partial power+button boot. I would surmise that your likely sequence
of events is correct.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what exactly in your description
proves that it booted from the SD card instead of the Nand?
Or was this on the netbook that was previously dead?
Are we really 100% certain that the conclusions are correct?
Cheers,
