RE: SRM BLANK SCREEN

["Benton, Marco" <BENTONM polaroid com>]

it shouldn't happen... but i had this happen to me once... i assume it was
because i did bad things to the power switch and pissed off the nvram.  i
beleive it was an AS1000 upgrading from a really old version.

I didn't quite understand, does this always happen with a firmware
upgrade?
