IMO the only thing that could cause such a problem would be a power spike.

What's the chance of your mobo and HDD dying at the same time ?

Do you mean when charging it? I always use a surge protector, especially when traveling.

internal 1.8 in hdd are renowned to not be as robust as internal 2-5inch ones..last time my int 1.8in 40gb hdd died on me was when i was using the vaio u3..first clicking sound..then bios beeps, then dead...

since then i rely on hdd life for notebooks & hd sentinel for diagnostic purposes..as soon as  i am up to 70% wear..i make plans to chg the hdd..and practices like ghosting becomes 2nd nature...

I am a huge fan of ssd based umpcs exp slc flash based ones and not the slower mlc flash ones..not only lighter by no need for defrag rubbish etc

more expensive but more peace of mind...my 2cts

Just leaving the office for the day, but wanted to let everyone know that my OQO arrived back from repair this morning!!   Grin

I haven't done much with it other than complete the Vista setup and run updates, but I didn't have my charger with me and I was down to 30 minutes on the battery before I put it to sleep.

Whatever they did, it's just amazing!  Everything works faster - OQO Manager is so fast and turns on the WWAN and LAN very quickly.  Before it would take quite awhile for either to respond to a change.

I'm going to be very cautious about installing only the apps that I really use so that I can benefit from a clean Windows installation.

A very happy day!!!  Smiley

Nice!  That was a quick turn around.  Kudos to OQO.

. . .

Does anyone have a cure for OQO withdrawal??  I'm starting to get the shakes...  Wink

Sandy   Grin

It's what really got me to purchase my Sony UX!

Only way to cure the UMPC withdrawal is to have another UMPC to fall back on. Smiley

Nope.  I just got a packing slip that indicated that the OQO was returned in "repaired" condition.

I think I'll call support tomorrow and find out what the final report indicated.
