Sorry I'm coming late this this conversation. I caught a nasty cold last week, just now starting to get back to normal.
Something definitely is going wrong. At this early point, I mainly just want to confirm this is now on my high priority issue list.
If anyone sees the problem again, making a note of which LED was blinking (orange is near the pushbutton, red is near the USB connector) before and after, and whether LED blinking in any sort of pattern or just a forever repeating slow blink would be helpful info.
