I am still a little confused on this. If I boot the machine with the batteries and power supply both in, boots fine. If I remove the power supply and either restart or shut down and boot up from the batteries, boots fine. If I remove the batteries and the re-insert them with the power supply disconnected, the machine will not boot off the batteries, but must have the power supply re-connected to boot up if both batteries and the power supply have been disconnected at the same time. How can you get the machine to boot off the batteries without using the power supply if the batteries have been removed and re-inserted? I would have though the Power re-set above would do it, but the last step there is reconnect the ps. ???????????? -- All the Best, R.A.
