Hello folks, maybe someone can help me. Yesterday my beloved libretto suddenly crashed. Everything went dark, the battery led was dark, only the DC-IN led flashes. The libretto was connected with the AC adapter to the wall socket, a 2600 mh battery was in the libretto. The led flashes an error code - I suppose: After 2 seconds off at the start, there are 4 short flashes, then comes 1 long flash (1 second) und then follow 3 short flashes. Then again 2 seconds dark, 4 short flashes and so on. It looks like 0000 1 000. Is this a binary signal? What is the meaning? The AC- adapter seems to be ok. It gives 15,08 V and I can use the libretto with the small batteries (1300 hm). The charging of this small batteries is ok. I can use the libretto without any battery, only withe the AC-adapter. I tried a totally new battery (2600 mh), all went dark, I can't charge it. I tried a small older battery, everything seemd to be ok. Today morning I retried an older 2600 mh battery, which caused yesterday the same faults. Now the charging led lights orange, everything seems allright. When I insert another older battery, which produced the evening before the above mentioned faults, everything went dark, only the error code flashes. When I insert the new uncharged battery (2600 mh) nothing goes, the DC-in led flashes the error code. When I unplug the libretto, replug ist and then insert an 1300 mh battery everything goes. The batteries, which work, have a voltage of 12,5 V at the most outward contacts and 11,97 V between contact 1 and 3. The batteries, that don't work have slightly different voltages: 12,53 most outward, 12,03 between contact 1 and 3. I don't think that matters. I have no idea, what is wrong. The contacts of the batteries are ok. Not all 2600 mh batteries are broken. The AC-adapter charges (but only small batteries). Cheers J�rgen
