Re: 1400- battery rebuild

Hi all! Questions on this topic -- where (online? mail it in? resources?) can I get a 1400 battery rebuilt? What kind of performance/results after the rebuild? Does it cost significantly less than new battery? Not heard of this before and am quite intrigued... Thanks very much... aly 1400cs KS

Sorry for the stupid question. Just the silver card part that goes into the slot? And I am assuming the dongle is the black cord that comes out of it and hooks into the network? Let me know if you don't find a buyer. I'm interested. I already have one Farallon card; it would be nice if both Macs

That's interesting -- the battery part. Did you buy a new one or a reconditioned old one? I'm interested simply because my original one won't work for longer than 16 minutes or so -- even with the reconditioning program (run a number of times, under 7.6.1 and 8.1). I have hesitated buying a new
