Hi
Sorry, yes I forgot to describe it!
It intermittently fails to fully boot U-Boot from SPI flash or SD card - it hangs in the early stages. If U-Boot boots correctly, the OS will boot but within a few minutes the system either hangs or the Kernel panics.
I've also tried testing the memory from within Linux, resulting in a hang after a few minutes.
It won't power on if the battery is connected, and there's a high-pitch whining noise coming from (I think) the main board.
It's not a software problem, as U-Boot hasn't changed in months and it's what's in use for other Slackware users.
Thanks
