The only thing that really bothers me is that when I remove and reinsert
the battery (and wait a few hours), it will boot up fine for a bit then do
it again. But if I don't take out the battery (just let it sit without
power overnight) it won't come up at all.

The reason I tried the battery stunt is because of a previous run-in with
a UDB... Well, we all know...

So I'm not quite sure what to do, except contact el vendor...
