The display on my team's drive station shuts off when a wireless connection is established between it and the robot. We are running the updated image on the DS and on the robot we are running the updated default windriver code. Does any else have this problem?

Actually, it is not just when the DS connects to the robot, it seems that the screen fails randomly from 10seconds-2minutes after boot. It is only the screen that fails, everything else keeps working.

There have been reports of static discharge causing the screen to go out. Is your work area particularly dry? That could lead to frequent static discharges onto the DS.

Not only is our work area really dry, but the floor is covered with carpet so that makes a lot of sense.
