Scott, Before selling, listen to Sidney, try a good processor. Before my first 2400 went GLOD it ran flawlessly for me for 2 and a half years and the last 6 months it had 2 loose screws bouncing around in the case because I was too afraid to open it up!!! (Gee, I wonder why it died?? :) I also had a 1400cs, bumped up to 400mhz, but I really like the 2400 better.

(Got a new 2400 with a 320mhz and it died before I could transfer all my files... I think it was jealous) >(was the 2nd I/O board put in by you, Willie, or someone else?).

Had them fix the I/O and ship the 2400 back. I replaced the newer card with the original 603, and it ran fine until I bought a replacement Newercard that ended up being bad. I installed it 5 times and it was bad every time! (Hope springs eternal :) The last time I replaced it with the 603 and the I/O was no longer charging the battery. So it never went GLOD the second time and I believe the problem was caused by the bad processor. Wrote that one off, the guy never returned any of my Emails. I did have the board repaired by a great guy from this list. Which I did install myself, and it runs great now. Willie ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
