Default Smarty Cam boot problem

I've got an original (non HD) Smarty Cam and just recently it refuses to boot up past the opening screen with the penguin. Doesn't matter if I'm powering it from the wall supply or my Solo DL, it hangs up at the opening screen and won't go past that point. Any ideas for corrective action?

I can't remember how, but there is a button combo to make a hard reboot. If that doesn't work, it has to go in.

The button combo is the center power button and the right button pressed together and the center released right away, the right button released after the Linux Penguin pops up.

I have less success with hard boots than reloading firmware using the hard boot button sequence and 1.03.14 firmware on the mSD card.
