You probably had the same problem as I had a few months ago with the battery: A fuse on my powerboard blew out, and it gives the red X through the battery icon in your menu bar. It won't charge your battery anymore. You can buy a fuse for it for about $7, but is is a SMD fuse, so you need good soldering skills to put it in. Probably MCE can fix it for you as well.>> Thanks to both of you. I just placed an order from Madsonline. I wondered if it could be some kind of a fuse issue. I suspect it was related to fraying/shorting in my adapter. Not being handy with a soldering iron (I certainly don't have "good soldering skills", I'll probably send it to MCE. I'll hold off sending until after my new Titanium PowerBook arrives <gloating>. Ordered BTO from the Apple Store on January 9th -- still not here :-( . Since I'm sending it off anyway, I'm thinking about having a larger hard drive put in the 2400. I still have the original 1.3 GB drive and would like something much larger. What drives do people recommend for a 2400? I'd like the largest one available, assuming the price isn't outrageous. Does MCE sell them or are they exclusively a repair shop? Should I buy one somewhere else and pack it in the box with the PowerBook and send it all to MCE? I assume they will install drives as well? What can be done with the old drive? Is there some kind of external enclosure available, or is is there someone out there on the list who needs a 1.3 GB drive? Also, do I understand that MCE can do something to allow me to use Firewire on a 2400? I've not followed those threads closely but I seem to recall it has something to do with Cardbus enabling. I'd like to max this thing out if I can as I'll be giving it to my high school age son and I want him to be able to use it for a couple of years. Advice? What else do I need to do to use Firewire? ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
