  Thanks, it arrived yesterday and the second Pixl was reflashed as explained : Perfect.

  And indeed the warning is: "Uncaught Error: Can't have palette on >8 bit images"

  But I created it with "Output As: Image String" and "Coloours : 1 bit black/white" options. Not a problem.
  Many thanks again.

  Dear Christine
  Thanks for your answer.

  No worry, we will investigate the problem when is back.

  Kind Regards,

  Hi Gordon,

  Just received my new Pixl and immediately I tried the same experiment with the attached Javascript file:
  (1) Upload the file without 'require("Storage").write(".splash"' => Works fine.
  (2) Upload the file WITH 'require("Storage")..."

  Same problem.

  It does not reboot, with the message:

  DFU 2v16
  
  BOOTING ...
  

  When trying to boot with BTN1 and BTN4 pressed, it displays:

  DFU 2V16
  
  RELEASE BTN1 FOR DFU
  BTN1 TO BOOT
  
  <==========================================>
  BOOTING...
  

  What do you suggest, please ?

  A wish, on top of the ideas here, would be a metal case for a DeLuxe Bangle2, and here is why:

  I had a Casio bought in 1993 but it died last year and anyway could give the day of the week only between 1980 and 2020.

  So I chose another model, and found in the "vintage" serie of Casio the "W-800H-1AVES", with a steel case that I like :

  Also, I loved the aesthetics of Nixon Regulus silver : https://uk.nixon.com/products/regulus-stainless-steel-black?gclid=CjwKCAiAlp2fBhBPEiwA2Q10D1wAO4czbvxt15Gse9mIXjw_imRU1_q4yu4KgjDOs6VsNXAt8xpW0BoC0E0QAvD_BwE

  For both of them, the software does not do much beyond giving time, and has useless features (No need of two timers)

  This is when I discovered Bangle 2, immediately loved the concept, and happily chose it (and offered one to my son).

  So, ideally, I would love another Bangle 2 but with a steel case.

  Same message.

  I sent a Wetransfer URL to the email address contact at espruino dot com .

  If this helps, I am absolutely happy to send it to you, and order another one.

  Ah OK, my mistake.

  Unfortunately, it blocks (BTN1 only, or BTN1+BTN4) with the message:

  SW RESET
  DFV 2V16
  
  BOOTING...
  

  If it is a hardware problem (shock or any other reason), it might be simpler to order another one. I can send you mine for further investigation.

  As kindly suggested, I tried a DFU reset with "Cutting Edge build: espruino_2v16.93_pixljs.zip"
  I attached the Android displays, after the sequence:

  DFU 2V16
  RELEASE BTN1 FOR DFU
  BTN1 TO BOOT
  <=============      >
  

  ... then pressing BTN1 gives:

  DFU START
  

  Please that it does NOT display this, the end after "START" is missing:
  DFU STARTED READY TO UPDATE

  Please find attached the whole script and the image.

  Also: I did not save this program to flash memory, so maybe the hardware is broken ?

  I will flash the latest firmware and will tell the result.

  Thanks

  After having uploaded a big splash image with require("Storage").write(".splash",E.toArrayBuffer(atob("
  my Pixl is frozen.

  So I do a hard-reset, power off/on with BTN1 pressed. It starts, then displays:

  DFV 2V16
  RELEASE BTN1 FOR DEV
  BTN1 TO BOOT
  
  <==================================>
  BOOTING...
  

  Then the led flashes once, and the screen is frozen with the same message.

  Possible reason: a JSA connector I soldered two weeks ago, but it was working OK after that.

  I am happy to try to flash the memory myself.
