Device dead VIM2

Hi
Device is dead. On the last boot I noticed speckles dancing on the screen. I changed the cable, same result.
Then the ubuntu upgraded, and now it does not boot. I have no bios start, I hove nothing.
It is not recognised on the USB cable update system.
I got no boot, no video detection, no bios, no USB cable detection.

I can only think it was because I went through the airport XRAY machine with it and the VIM2 has no protection from radiation, no cover. I don’t have any other idea why it has died.

Best regards
Dean

Hi Dean:
For your case, you can tried the M-Registor way to upgrade:

Kindly update us with more details if your problem don’t got resolved.

Good luck!

Hi
I have a VIM 2, nothing like what is in the picture or the link you sent.
I tried the M-register - got nothing.
then I tried the serial connection… got a boot up which ended with…

Do you know what the CONFIG-ERROR is all about ?

You upgraded a Ubuntu ROM on your VIM2, and from the printing log you posted, your VIM2 device still works.

Which version Ubuntu ROM you installed?
