Hi,

 

This is indeed strange behaviour.

 

Things to try:

If there is an SD card in, try without the SD card. If it starts up faster without the SD card, then you should consider using a PC to re-format the SD card to FAT (or FAT-16) and not FAT-32 file system (after backing up your data of course :smileyhappy: ). Note, only SD cards up to 2GB should be used and must not be SDHC cards.

 

Try a new backup battery ( CR-2032)

Try new main batteries (4 x AAA)

Note: do not remove the main batteries and the backup battery at the same time, this will cause data lost.

 

You can try a reboot:

ON-F3 together for a soft reboot.

ON-F1-F6 together for a complete re-boot, select "YES" to KEEP your data.

(it is advisable to back up your data in any case)

 

Regards,

Bart
