As of late, another problem popped up. It would seem that
using Gateway’s Diagnostic Tool greatly increases the risk of bricking the system. It is currently unknown whether this behavior is connected with the alleged
"Bricking Code" or if it’s a separate glitch altogether.
According to mathieulh, the reason why the Diagnostics Tool increases the bricking risk is because it uses Gateway-specific functionality, which in the rare event of failing triggers the alleged
"Bricking Code". Whatever the reason behind the bricks may be,
we strongly discourage the use of Gateway’s Diagnostics Tool for the time being on the basis the evidence collected by
gamesquest1, which isn’t conclusive and does not explain why the bricks occur, but does rise safety concerns nonetheless.
