Is there anyway you can take a photo of that symbol and post it on the site?

I would be interested in seeing what it looks like.

It might be a possible fault with the screen than anything else as I haven't heard of an orange symbol appearing in the middle of the screen before.

He might be referring to the 'hourglass/blue screen' of death. It's orange.. sort of.

I know from experience that it stays there longer with the more memory you have. On my FMP 1.5 it'll hang for 8 to 10 seconds. On the 2GB 1.8 it'll hang for 15 to 20 seconds and on the 8GB Venom it'll stay on it for 25 to 30 seconds. But if i wait that time, it usually disappears and goes back to the main menu.

In this case however, it definitely sounds like the "bluescreen/hourglass of death"
