I removed the batteries last night and plugged into the power adaptor.  Couldn't get it going again.I left it plugged in and got it to boot at lunch.  Running now (6:24p ET). Turned it on and off a few times.  Booting right up. I have 4 fresh batteries.  I'll insert them now.  Turn off.  Unplug

I have noticed in the past that a long stored 8201 can have PCB damage from leaking backup Ni-Cad battery whereby the ‘acid/alkali’ eats away tracks. These tracks are around the power management circuits. Might be a idea to open up and check inside. Repair is foable.

Just a thought here - many (most?) rechargeable AA size (and AAA size) batteries are lower voltage than standard alkaline batteries. An alkaline 1.5 volt AA can be replaced with a rechargeable AA, but the rechargeable is usually labeled 1.2 volts. They're the same physical size, but supply

Sometimes a cold boot can help after a NiCd battery replacement. Then check the Vdd and Vee voltages are +5V and –5V respectively. The voltage on the battery should be about 3.7V if it is charging OK. It could be powering on just the screen is dim. Try powering on, hit return (this takes
