For no apparent reason, my 2400 has refused to use my battery anymore. * It see the battery (it knows it's there) * It attempts to charge it, and stops after less than a minute. * My 2400 will not run off the battery at all. * The battery indicator says the battery is dead * The temperature sensor in the battery says it's at 0 degrees celcius * I replaced the battery with a new one, and it's doing the same thing So, this make me think the power board is 'cooked' and I think remembered someone else on this list said the had the same problem and was able to fix it. I think I know what fried it too, but I have to poke at it with a multi-meter more to confirm it's drawing too much power ... but that's for another post real soon now (2400/G4 400mHz) -- Peter Liethen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.liethen.com ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
