Here's a bit of info that might be of some use. After getting the 0102 last night and assuming all was lost I was looking through this post and noticed a couple "connected IPOD/PSP" problems. I remembered that I plugged in the USB "play and charge" controller charger last week for the first time when the system was off. Here's the order of events:
Plugged in "play and charge" USB kit (while console was off)
After not having played the system for one week, I turned it on and COD2 froze after about 1 min.
Turned off/on, froze during boot screen.
Turned off/on, froze during boot screen + Red ring of lights. Tried removing power/av/hard drive, etc..
Red ring, no video (over and over)
Panic, panic, panic....
Remebered the USB connection, unplugged "play and charge" kit, booted ok!
Connected "play and charge" kit, all seems well. I can boot fine on all different configs.
I guess it may have had a problem recognizing the usb device after it was cold connected. Next time I use it I'll be connecting it while the system is ON!
