A lot faster, given the low RAM ceiling of the WS and WSII.

Nope, and I even used my full credentials when I signed the letter.

What exactly was the symptom of the dead battery ?

Ouch. It takes maybe two hours to do it yourself, if you're handy
with a screwdrier.

You've got it backwards. MPEG4 and H.264 play in standard QT
Dear listers,
This is the second time I've had to email NewerTech support about
replacing a battery, in the past month, but I'm starting to wonder if
it's not my Lombard that's causing my battery problems, instead of
the batteries themselves. I know the charging board is good on it,
AFAIK,
I dont know why, but I have had _zero_ luck bringing any third party
WS or lombard batteries back to life. BTI or Newertech.
Well, I called NewerTech and they think it's a bad PMU, but I still
want a second opinion. They did say that they could get approval for
another replacement, if I

Not sure what you are saying here ...
You are spending money like buying a Ti to repair a Lombard - WHY ?
There is no PMU board on a Lombard - so what is being replaced/repaired ?
Even if you are sending it away, take yer HD out - really easy in a Lombard

A: I like the Lombard/Pismo
As Caleb incorrectly posted, MPEG-1 playback is and has been
built-in to Quicktime for many versions.
Eh, I got it halfway right, at least. I've never had reason to work
with MPEG-1, so I was playing the guessing game there. The MPEG-4
stuff is all correct, though.
