hm could be an firmware corruption? ...

this is strange because when my camera crashes the Edge Overlay detected too much objects (all the screen was full of yellow pixels) and that was when started the problems on my cam..

Afther that i was tried to found a "hard reset" combination like press power button + some other button .. but it was useless ...

*sigh i think i must to buy another camera jejeje :P .... someday..

But if anyone haves a possible solution please send a reply on this topic ;)

If the camera runs long enough to get a ROMLOG, that might provide some clues.

There has been one or two instances of cameras getting the firmware settings corrupted. None of these have been conclusively traced to CHDK, but it's not impossible.

CHDK never intentionally writes to the cameras onboard flash memory, but a malfunction could corrupt data in RAM which subsequently causes a problem when the camera goes to save it's on settings.
Don't forget what the H stands for.
