    [Defcon 20] badge still in "infected" mode after 3 days?

    I got "it" from DT's badge late Friday night, and it's been in virus mode ever since. I haven't removed the battery for any amount of time, just an hour or so when someone bumped me and it fell out.

    I thought the Uber badge "hit" only lasted up to 12-24 hours at most?

    I did sync with Goon badges Saturday, could that have caused the extension?

    It's a speaker badge, if that matters.

    (No time to troll through the firmware until next weekend, so I'm being weak and asking)

      I know this might not be extremely helpful, but I know that some people got dumps of all the badge types including speaker. With that dump you could reflash the EPROM to a virgin speaker badge. I don't have it but you might ask here: http://forums.parallax.com/showthrea...F-CON-20-Badge

          "Which proves us DT still dangerous"
          I also sync'd with DT, was a little "afraid" something could happen, however, nothing did, perhaps, because I did it with almost all the badges before.
