Topic: Chumby won't boot, special ops not working

Hey guys,

I have restarted my chumby today and it won't boot anymore.

I am always getting the intro, which is playing too fast, without sound and can't be skipped.
After that I get stuck at the WLAN selection screen as the touchscreen won't work (don't even know why he won't just connect on its own, as he did before).
[UPDATE]
OK, well it does refresh the WLAN signal as I can see the signal strenght changing and some stations with weak signal dissapearing and I can click on the grey "ok" button and get a message.
But I can't select a station or click any of the other buttons.
[/UPDATE]

Special ops won't help either.
Installing an update results in the same behavior. (if the screen doesn't freeze before I can click)
And the worst is that it won't let me click restore to factory settings, instead it will always select reboot on its own.

I can't ssh into the device and restore the factory settings.
Does anyone have an idea?


The only big chance I made since the last reboot was that I remounted the system as writable and changed the index.html of the webserver to a symbol link to my own one (to use the chumby as a small webserver). After that I remounted it as read only again.
Could that be the problem?
But why wouldn't I be able to restore the factory settings?


I really hope that you can help me, I need my alarm clock!
