Just pulling out the power sources like ac, LiIon and the pram battery out for 10 minutes will drain power, as far as I know. I'm trying to purge some bad power manager corruption, and now it's weirder. My clock goes back to 1904 if I don't keep the PB plugged in. I think there's something bad ab

Ilene, there are a number of guides for taking apart your 2400 on mac2400. Though I don't remember anything specific about draining power. Mostly it's various folks' directions on taking it apart. > power manager problem can cause screen flickering, among other things. I >had a flickering pro

I would check out the power socket on the 2400 for a loose solder joint, since all of the adapters did the same thing. Tom on 7/4/01 12:12, Sidney Ho at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > on 7/4/01 Peter Liethen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> I'd BET ANYTHING that it's the power adapter. --
