Dear All: I have a Wallstreet 250 and lately the battery seems to get disconnected or fails to make contact -- I'll be using it on battery and then suddenly it shuts down as if there's no battery and needs to be plugged in. Sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't (and shows only

My 300Mhz Series II WallStreet won't run for long on the battery. It freezes after about 10 seconds. Works fine on the yo-yo. Tried what someone suggested earlier and ran Battery Reset 2.0. No difference. Could I have a loose connection to the battery? -- G-Books is sponsored by

Does anyone know where I might get a new power management board (CHEAP) for my WallStreet 266? It seems to be eating batteries at a rate of one every three months, and the board seems to be the only thing I can think of (I've done the shift/option/apple/restart thing quite a few times). When

I have heard that 3 hours in the freezer, followed by a flat drop from a few feet up onto a hard surface will break away the dendrites that form on the opposing plates, reducing the battery's effectiveness. My one attempt by my wife hit on the corner shattered my battery. I've not heard of any

It sounds like it could be, but that could also be your battery. What exactly happens whey you reset the battery? Well, I found out I have more problems, but thanks. Anyway, I reset the battery, zapped the power manager and it still comes up showing a full battery. Anyway, I got the 4 year
