I can only assume it is trying to load some application or file from the card. But you do not say what apps are installed at start up and whether they may have necessary files on the card.

thanks mike...after thinking about what you said you were right. one of the apps in my HTC home plugin launcher thing is installed on the card. removed it from the launcher and restarted without the microsd card: problem solved. i dont know y i didnt think about that. maybe ill use the excuse its been a long week :o

yup. i had just ran the dishwater in the sink with dish soap. sat the phone on the counter. roommate went to slide something in the sink without paying attention and knocked in my phone too. i come back into the kitchen and see some nice light shining up through the water. so of course i hurry up and pull it out. just as i was about to take the battery out the screen went black and white. put the blow dryer too it and 8 circulation fans for desktop computers. thought i had it dry so i tried powering it back on. screen was almost like an LCD monitor with a bad backlight with just ghost images. so i called AT&T and told them it just quit (i may have forgot to mention the sink incident). well ive already had 5 replacements since march for various reasons (mostly cuz i may have dropped them and they got scratched so i wanted a new one) but anyways they told me bring it to the store to verify there was no damage. which somehow the little sticker meant to check for moisture didnt change so i was figuring i was good. went to school the next day and left the phone in the front seat of my car for about 4 hours came back out and tried it again to make sure it was still gonna do the ghost image thing and low and behold it worked with no problem. screen came on normal in full color and everything. touch screen still works and everything. its like it never happened :D from what you said i guess im the first to successfully drop an 8525 into water, fully submerge it and it still worked.
