The problem is/was that I couldnt run off them. Running battery amnesia with the AC on doesnt do anything does it ? However, a post by Donnie Monk (thanks!) gave me an idea. I put a brand new PRAM battery in a unit, let it sit a few mintues, and now it runs off the battery (2150 mAh) just fine so far. So, maybe a dying PRAM battery could cause this problem too. >Ciao; >Andrew >(still running the 280 on the 17Ah batt....almost 2 days so far on the >Powerpoint presentation, think it will end tonight, batt is beginning to drop) 17 Ah.... heh heh... did it come with the required backpack ? thanks, Mad Dog ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
