Hi All, just wanted to let you know what a piece of crap these refurbs are.
I got one to power my laser because I thought the touchscreen and luminous keypad would be handy in the party atmosphere. Also the tough body armour form knocks and spills. And at £300 who could argue.

I got one about 2 weeks ago. It looked a state. I mean it was second hand but this looked like it had been sleeping rough. The battery didn't work without the power cable and I got no CD like was stated in the list of thing to get. I also expecting to get touch screen and luminous keys. Neither worked so I sent it back to sterlingxs and got a replacement in 3 days. The replacement was a little better as the touch screen works but the luminous keys still don't work. The battery works for about 15 mins so that's crap.
I put the stuff from the FB3 Eval kit on it. Seemed to load up ok but then crashed. I thought it might have been me as I was using 3D Draw making shapes using the touch screen. I guess it was to much for the weak processor (Pentium 3) and small memory (256) to handle. I couldn't even do a Crtl Alt Del to get out of it, so holding the power button down, I tried again.
It crashed again just opening and using 3D Draw.
I'm going to see if I can send it back and get a refund because it's obvious it can't handle anything more than sending email, and who needs touch screen to do that?
Booo
