    Ok so since my last post I boxed up the tablet & a few of the accessories, but the mount & charger cable are in my truck at the yard. The yard is 75 minutes away & I'm just beat from my last run. So I figured I would just wait until I go back out & hit a Love's. Cause even though all I need is the tablet, receipt says All Accessories for an exchange. Anyway I got to thinking when the screen shows the greenish lines, there is sometimes distorted text too, and that could be a software thing. So I decided to tinker. Booted it up, registered, got distracted & let it sit after it was ready. About 10 minutes later I come back, open the dash cam just to have a looksee, & it works perfectly! So I close that & open the camera, same result.
    All I can figure is I haven't let all services finish loading before tinkering & I screw it up for the current session. But long as it works, I'm not gonna fix it :p

    Great... but on my Tablet once it goes to the main home screen it is ready for use.. Question.... how long have you let the battery charge? I know the Truck GPS App does not like it below 10%... you can go to settings/Battery and see a graph of the charging.

    Odd.. I would watch it for the next few days... Remember most of the places on the road give you 30 days and it is still covered under factory warranty during this time frame also..

    But logistically it would be easier to replace during the 30 day grace period while on the road...
