Last night the machine worked fine from its battery. Today, the only thing that sees the battery is the control strip module, briefly, when the machine is first started up and the battery is removed and reinserted. (That only happens the first time, though.) And the PRAM isn't being saved when the machine is unplugged (my PRAM battery is dead, so I depend on the main battery for that.) I've reset the Power Manager and the PRAM, but neither helps. Ideas? Why does the control strip see a battery insertion? (I would have expected that to be electrical, not mechanical?) ~ Kiran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- <http://www.io.com/contradance/> 1628 5th St NW Wash DC 20001 (202) 483-3373 ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
