Time to RMA SP2 due to the mSD-battery drain bug?

[jrapdx]

Wow! I haven't been reading in this forum for a while, had work to do, using SP2 a lot for it.

Still had the high CPU startup problem, so a nice surprise to learn about the article "You experience high CPU activity ...". Installed the firmware, restarted--went through 4 cycles before normal start. This whole patch was in all ways OOB.

We'll see if the problem is "cured", but a big thanks to the alert SP2 forum members who spread the word about the fix.

is there any correlation of this bug with the cpu, 4200 vs. 4300? I have a 4300 and haven't experienced it yet even though I have a microSD in all the time.

No, it is not.

I believe this issue is way more widespread than it seems, because many people will only notice their SFPros getting "warmer" and losing battery life.

Installed the patch and if anything it's even worse now. I get about 3 hours with an mSD installed.

How did you manage to get Microsoft to post a patch so promptly, specially when we've bene complaining for months?

It works great so far.

For me too. But anyone noticed the FW file dates are from at least a month ago? And it's still an OOB hotfix even now, not scheduled for Windows Update till June.
