"Matthew Mung" --> Sandy Papp -->
Sounds very much like one of 2 things:
- The infamous Power Manager problem. You have to reset the power manager by
unplugging the computer, removing the battery, waiting for a few minutes,
turning aorund 3 times towards East while throwing salt behind you back, then
going back to the machine,
- If did not help and you see a continuous green light (not flashing) after you
press the reset button, then what you are dealing with is the dreaded Green
Light of Death. The name tells it all.
________________________________
In my experience even the green light of death may be overcome if you have a
pure heart and you are willling to remove both the battery and the AC from your
PB. Allow the PB to sit undisturbed while it regains its connection to the
cosmic power source and regenerates itself. If the conditions are right it will
reawaken from its slumber in a few days and act as if nothing ever happened. If
not, you're screwed.
