Hi Guys
I do appreciate your responses concerning my battery reconditioning
problem. I didn't really mean for it to turn into a debate over the good and
bad
of it. I just acquired this duo last week and it has always been my practice
to
recondition the battery on any laptop I purchase used. It has never failed
me,
and has always given me positive results to one degree or another.
To get back to the subject of my original post.
I tried all of your suggestions and It was still to no avail. I even
disconnected the Pram battery for a good hour.
It was better with versions 1.3, and 1.1. The apps would run,
but only for about 5 minutes. They would then give me the warning (Battery
recondition has been canceled because of an error).
Before I wrote this reply It donned on me that this particular duo
had come with a 45 watt power adapter from either a 3400, or a 1400.
Could that be my problem? I have to wonder because the problem
is the same with both batteries, and it persist even with a different
motherboard. I cant see how it could be the modem,hard drive, or memory.
So it seems like it has to be the adapter. My question is then, are these
adapters
CPU specific? I know they are interchangeable with the different families
of laptops, but could the 280 be receiving the wrong info from this
particular adapter. Are these adapters progamed with a diferent agorythm for
there pospective
computer.
Also I do not have a DUO adapter to find out it it is the cause.
Again,
Thanks for all you responses.
