I've ereased it (gold pad to 5V), redeployed TinnyBootLoader and reflashed firmware 4.2.0.1 but without a change, the module is still not booting up automatically

I have a 2nd mini which works without any problems... I hope it's not a hardware related problem . 

Even if the application is ereased, the mini that works reports:

The broken one reports just:

is there anything else I can try ??

Roger

It's a "blinky" app like:

public static void Main(){	while (true)	{	Debug.Print(DateTime.Now.ToString());	Thread.Sleep(2000);	}} 

I ereased the app via MFDeploy and redeployed it (via VS2010) without a reboot... App starts, but after next Reboot (power cycle) the app is not starting anymore.  There is nothing else attached to the mini (only RS232 RX/TX to debug and deploy).

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Same problem here, but I'm not able to fix it.
I can "Plug-in > Debug > Reboot CLR" and the application starts...[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]"Plug-in > Debug > Clear Bootloader Flag"  and the application starts...[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Redeploy "ER_CONFIG" and the application starts...[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Deploy and debug the App in VS2010...[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]but after reboot (power cycle) the only message I get is:[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]And the Application does not start... attaching DTR to GND does not help...  Any other tips ?[/font]
