[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrchew1982:
surgery done...

I wasn't happy with the solder joints that I laid on last time, it looked like I might have bridged two of the pads... so I removed the power connector completely only to find that the housing was split down the middle. Found a new connector (perfect match here: http://www.dcpowerjacks.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=202), got it today. Cleaned the pads and carefully connected the new one. sprayed everything clean, it looked great afterwords, but no change in behavior... I didn't see anything loose or missing either when I went over it with the magnifying glass.

Ok, reflashed per your instructions. here is the output:

It rebooted into the screen that you described but stopped short of going into clockwork. for a long time the last lines were:

19.213803 so340010_kbd: probe of so340010_kbd failed with error -1
19.217161
19.217164 I2C Slave is *New*
19.820563 NvOdmMouseDeviceOpen failed
20.019509 android_usb Gadget: high speed config #1: android

I then heard the USB connection sound and windows notified me that a USB storage device had been installed (no drive shows up in "My Computer").

Then it started reprinting an error message about every 5 minutes:

257.010389 INFO: task cpufreq-dvfsd:286 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
257.013674 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernal/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

After repeating 3-4times then it goes to a page with just a bunch of numbers inside of parenthesis on the left hand side (counter overran the buffer?) and no text on the right.

When I rebooted it without the USB attached the last message shown is "NvOdmMouseDeviceOpen failed" before it went into the "INFO" error messages.

Still think its a hardware problem?

I will get a linux boot CD setup to try ADB mode again, but i'm hoping that the messages above will be enough to figure this out.

Thank you, once again, for your time and help.
