Okay, I wiped the memory and now it's back to normal. Thanks.
i'll just have to live with the loss of my work and redo it. I'm sure
it'll be better than the original.
Anyway, i have to reenable the rex manager and i'm back to business.
Thanks for the help. I'll remember this for next time.
I cant wait to get my tape drive so I can save my work to that so if
this happens again i won't be screwed.

I have done the whole restart, resetting it, but I haven't done the
memory wipe. In the four-five days I've had it, I've written alot on
it. I'd like to keep the files.
I dno't know how to check how much ram is on it, though. Yes, it's REX
that I was tabbing going to different banks, all three. Bank 1 was
pretty much full. Bank 2 is where I'm keeping all my documents, and
bank 3 is unused.
I won't be removing REX if it'll corrupt the power up bank.

that when my T200 has been sitting unused for a while, and I am more
or less convinced that it relates to the nicad batts being a bit
low. with or without REX.
But I have never really root caused this weakness in how T200 powers
up. To recover it, I usually do a combination of (1) cold restart
(2) toggle memory power switch (3) pulling power completely. What
the state of the RAM is afterwards is the question.
Certainly, you can try removing REX. There is a good chance that
your RAM will be corrupted if you do that though (at least in the
power up bank, the other banks should be ok).
If there is an important file that you need to get back, I would say
there are ways to extract the raw memory from a ram bank AFTER a cold
restart.
How much RAM is installed?
You mention TAB - TAB (for changing banks) is a REX feature that is
equivalent to the BANK function key. If you pull REX out, TAB won't
work, so use the function key.. And if REX Manager software is not
correctly installed in the T200, TAB will also not work.

I'm happy to take suggestions while I read the service manual.
