1. A WeTab with power cable

1. Plug the WeTab into the mains. You do not want the unit powering off or sleeping while you are reflashing!
2. Download pinetrail image from the [ http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/stable/1.2.0.90/1.2.0.90.0.20110517.1/images/meego-tablet-ia32-pinetrail/ ]. I used meego-tablet-ia32-pinetrail-1.2.0.90.0.20110517.1.img
3. Follow [ http://meego.com/devices/netbook/installing-meego-your-netbook instructions ] for using image-writer to create a bootable image on one of the USB drives
4. sudo printf "x9dx2ax44x7b"|dd of=/dev/sdX bs=1 count=4 seek=440 /dev/sdX (where sdX is your USB flash drive)
5. Startt Meego from usb
Be sure that your WeTab is connected to the mains socket Plug in USB stick (Stick with LED prefered) Press power button Once the WeTab starts to boot (Blue LED on WeTab lights up or LED on stick lights up) press power button together with quickstart button (round area in top left corner of touch screen) for approximately 1 second (longer press will shut it down again) and press F11 repeatedly until the boot menu shows up Select proper action
