It worked fine in the home but not in the car. I took it back into the house and resynched it and it worked in the house. I put it back in the car and it still didn't work. I said heck with it and went to work. On the way there I kept taking it out and sliding it back in. Finally it worked after taking it out a few more times. I remembered the v2.0b11 "20min" bug and after thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that it started working around 20min from the first time I saw the error message. Coincidence?

So, once it started playing, a few minutes later it started hiccuping, like it was a bad MP3 file. Although I know for a fact that that particular file wasn't damaged. It also happened on the next song. And when I tried to fast forward, the buttons were frozen. So I guess I hit another "20min" bug. I pulled it out again, it rebooted, and it was fine for the rest of the day, except for the usual intermittant remote control response.

I think I just got a lemon and I should send it in. But I don't know if I can go without my baby for more than a day. What's the typical turn around time?

To summerize my bugs:

The screen in "Track: Info" mode is dimmer than the rest of the modes

Intermittant responding to the remote

Occasional "No hard disk found, Contact support" message in car only

Occasional song hiccups and button freeze

Vertical "shadows" cast by digits on bottom level of screen

Other than those it's running great!
