I was scanning the GMRS frequencies (462.5625 through 462.7250 Mhz) for a few minutes using the provided antenna, when my screen locked up.
?
- Tried restarting device.? Got the "Starting up..." and then the scanning screen but it froze before taking any readings.
- Tried removing the SD card.
- Tried holding down the toggle while rebooting.
- Tried disconnecting, waiting a long while, and reconnecting the battery.
- Tried running off of only USB power.
- Tried disconnecting and reconnecting the screen ribbon cable.
- Tried connecting via serial.? Doing this seems to have gotten it unfrozen.? I have no idea why.? Was using PuTTY on Windows.? But I think it got unfrozen before I actually connected to the COM port (cannot be sure).
- Performed `clearconfig 1234`
- Performed `reset`
?
Why did this happen?
Why did connecting to serial "fix" it?
