I had a similar problem.  In my case, the cause was underneath the board.  I
had not trimmed one of the components leads enough.  When I screwing the board
into the case the lead eventually pierced one of the wires going to my Nicad
pac.  My board would boot up with black squares, or when things got bumpy my
bot would go horribly wrong.........

just a thought

I have had friends check for shorts and I have redownloaded the
pcode_hb.s19 programs on to the handyboard (as the FAQ part of the
handyboard web page suggested).  However we haven't been able to loacate
any shorts and redownloading the p_code doesn't seem to help.

In addition to black squares appearing on the LCD screen, ocassionaly
strange (possibly japanese) characters appear on the screen.

But other then my LCD screen missbehaving, the handyboard seems to work
fine and, when I run IC, the computer recognizes that the p_codes are
loaded.

Does anyone know whats up with my handyboard??
