Unfortunately I have none, but I can share identical experiences with a WS II/PDQ that I used to own. It wouldn't startup unless it had the powercord plugged into the wall. Then it could stay up for 2 and half hours or so. On the other hand it could be moved with no or empty battery in to another outlet or let me change to a fresh battery, even in the same bay, while in sleep. I suppose something in the battery charge is too little to be able to handle an increased request of power during the startup or there could be a hardware setting somewhere that prevents startup without a powercord plugged in. But I wouldn't count on that. Maybe others have better suggestions. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
