Joggler crashing

[MikeF]

I'm quite regularly getting crashes on my Joggler, where it locks up and the screen breaks up like so:


This can happen on boot, or after several minutes or hours - no obvious pattern. Rebooting works - until the next time.

I'm running sqPOS v3.03 on an external USB (sanDisk Cruzer Fit 16GB), which I've reflashed several times.

Any clues as to what's wrong?

Could this be the same sort of issue another member dwl99 is having ?

Could this crash be coinciding with perhaps a switch being turned on or off elsewhere ?
Try your Joggler straight in to a clean supply I.e a wall socket , not an extension lead and see if that helps .

Yes, could be the same. I'm about to go away for 2 weeks, so will have to report back later (don't want to leave it on while away).

Has been running happily now for 2 weeks on a direct mains socket - albeit on a different power supply: Maplin switched mode multi-voltage power supply (L11BQ), 5V @ 4A.

The image / picture is same that I see on a couple of Jogglers. It is very rare though that I see it. I attributed the issue to an externally connected Axix USB NIC as it's only occurred with these Jogglers. The image is frozen and never changes. Odd thing is a concurrent beaconing that comes from the Joggler causing the network to misbehave. I have swapped out the power supply and not seen any changes to this misbehaving.

I unplug it and plug it back in and all is fine until the next time.

I am guessing maybe it is just some odd power thing inside of the Joggler versus an external electrical outlet thing.
