TyTN II "red light" special

After completing the previous blog entry about my Nokia E90, I took notice to the low battery meter and immediately put it on the charger. As it remains on the nightstand getting much needed juice, I have decided to break out my TyTN II for another blog entry about a technical issue.

Earlier this morning it was brought to my attention that there is a serious problem with large numbers of AT&T Tilts mysteriously dying. A fellow YouTube member called this problem the "Red Light of Death" and unfortunately was gaining firsthand experience. I then went online and did some research and found that this situation involves the device suddenly becoming unresponsive with nothing more than a red light flashing.

While there have been a number of accounts about this happening to certain Tilt owners, there appears to be a solution. Some folks have claimed that it is a simple matter of the battery not having a solid connection within the device, so they found ways of giving it a more snug and secure fit.

This issue appears to be affecting only AT&T Tilt owners, so I am not too concerned about it at all.
