I removed the batteries last night and plugged into the power adaptor.
Couldn't get it going again.I left it plugged in and got it to boot at lunch.
Running now (6:24p ET).
Turned it on and off a few times. Booting right up.
I have 4 fresh batteries. I'll insert them now. Turn off. Unplug adaptor.
Batteries in. Hmm. Fired right up.
Well, it's either an intermittent issue or it takes much longer to charge up
the internal 3.6v battery than I thought.

I have noticed in the past that a long stored 8201 can have PCB damage from
leaking backup Ni-Cad battery whereby the ‘acid/alkali’ eats away tracks.
These tracks are around the power management circuits. Might be a idea to open
up and check inside. Repair is foable.
