I prefer to start measure on the DC input, that the easiest way, and i dont need open and damage my iPAQ, after all they are quite expensive. I dont need to have perfect result's, just estimation about power consumption is OK. /Benny _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm Please visit the above address for information on this list.
