Put Ben in USB BOOT mode

Developer version comes with a serie of items to test hardware

Removing rear battery department

Pulling out battery form NanoNote

With NanoNote switched off , plug the USB cable to your PC and Ben, be sure it not comes up again on plug the cable, if so press power button until it shutdown or unplug the cable and try again, and again, and againr ;P with practice you will cach the point

Then you have to short the USB BOOT contacts meanwhile you press the power button to put on the device.... I have tryed with a screedriver, a tap and cable but the  most succesfull aproach whas my finger and a very tiny piece of alluminium tin foil.




If the screen remimains in black once you press the button for more than 2-3 seconds , congratulations you are in USB BOOT mode checkit with lsusb in the host.
