I would have to agree with that. The NUpowr 240 runs *too* hot as it is, so overclocking it is nothing short of signing a death certificate. >(Interware/Vimage >did do a 240 as well but it was quickly superseded by the 320/400). Thanks for clearing that up Sidney. Was that only in Japan? >On the GLOD topic, This can't address solder-related issues, but here is some other GLOD-preventing advice (as it relates to keeping your Power Manager healthy and happy): After a friend of mine who runs the service area of a local Apple dealer told me this, I've never seen a GLOD: Never plug the computer-side of the AC cord into the 2400c unless it is already plugged into an AC outlet at the other end. Additionally, whenever a battery falls out while the unit is sleeping *do not* re-insert the battery until you have plugged it back into a power outlet (starting with the wall-end) first. I had several occasions when the battery would fall out while it was in my briefcase... and I would not know it until quite some time later. If I popped the battery back it would GLOD about 90% of the time. Bad GLOD that required some time to fix. However if I opened the 2400c lid, and then put it on AC power (before I re-inserted the battery) it would start without fail. Go figure. I will reiterate: since I started living by these rules, I have never had a GLOD. -- --chuck goolsbee geek wrangler, digital.forest inc, bothell, wa <http://www.forest.net> list mom, mac-mgrs mailing list... <http://www.mac-mgrs.org> ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
