open flash tablet overheating
(title correction: open flash tablet not turning on due to warm weather)
So Ive recently ran into a very annoying problem with my tablet.
I purchased my tablet during the winter, and its been pretty cold in California until recently. Its been 80+ degrees the past few days, and every time i get into my car to plug my tablet in, it goes into usb mode as if it was connected to a computer. This only happens when its over 80 degrees outside. It plugs in and turns on no problem in the morning before i go to work.
I'm guessing that the circuit board inside the tablet is warping in the warm temperature causing something to short and its causing the tablet to think its in usb mode. The only way to make it work is to cool the tablet down with my AC blasting for 15 minutes.
You would think that a tool used to tune a car and monitor a car would be able to withstand inside car temperatures.
I already contacted OFT on their new support site a couple days ago and haven't gotten a response. I've also contacted FT86speedfactory where i purchased it and they're trying to contact OFT as well since the last time I emailed OFT about something they never got back to me.
Does this happen to anyone else?
