If not, you could try to get another battery (2 batteries are always good to have) and see if you have the same problem. If you do, then you know that something is wrong inside your Wallstreet, most likely the PMU. If not, then the first battery is dead. -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ********************** Usual disclaimers apply ********************** FITNR // adj.: [Thinking Machines, Inc.] Fixed In The Next Release.
