Before you ship it anywhere, see if you can install the developer release first. v2.01 please.

Then hit Control^C on the serial port after the player starts up.

(or if it is all behaving, then just leave well enough alone).

Ok, somewhat good news. I was able to install the dev. 2.01 release with no problems. However this is what I get when I activate the hyperterminal. I also ran the diagnosis or control+t. this just repeats itself until I disconnect.

Not sure what this all means but I have a feeling its not good. Now when I apply power no more hi-jack anim. Just sits at the last image while it hums away. Anything else I can try? Maybe a cable came loose inside? I really appreciate you guys' help.
