Hi,

I can't enable 'Automatic Power Saving Mode'? in CPU mode, it's grayed out why?

Were you able to get into powersaving mode before?

If this is a new thing.. i've got some bad news...

If you overclocked your unit, and as I can see in some other posts, you just may have.... you may have burnt out a curcuit on the board. I've already seen it two or three times.... Asus repaired some units and took pictures of what happened....... If you want it fixed, you can send it to Asus and not tell them what happened... but there is only one way to burn this thing out I guess and they'll know... Your unit will work just fine, but you're going to lose your slower cpu settings..... but congratulations, overclocking won and your warranty is void.

I'm running Spb Benchmark but the results seem very unstable is this normal for a PDA?
example for main:write1MB I got 750ms and 1950ms (read 416ms)
most of the time I get 1950ms
also when I did some manual test copying around a 5.3mb file I got 7 to 15 seconds depending when I did it.
most of the time i get 15sec.

could this be related to that other problem?
how to check my CPU speed? (in Mhz?)

edit:
I tried a hard reset, problem is the same.

I don't know what to tell you.... I had a customer who "tried" to overclock his and same thing happened...... it was sent to asus and they knew exactly what happened, but they still replaced it for us no problem.

I am to understand that reflasing the ROM might help.. just get the same rom from asus' site that you already have.. I beleieve that's how they fixed another unit.
