victor, It does strike me that a battery with a shorted cell might give similar results.
I don't know if those things are supposed to run with the battery removed, if you know for sure, you could try that, but there are many reasons why that might not work even if the battery is the problem. Of course you don't know, or do you, what the batteries terminal voltage is, so measuring it might not help. It might say on the battery or in the book what it should be If it measures at or above what it is specified at, then the battery is probably not the issue. but if it, for example, is supposed to be 9.4 volts, and the battery measures well under 9, then you may have a single cell in the pack that's shorted. In which case replacing the pack is the best answer. If you dare to try it with battery pack removed and it boots, then also the pack is the answer. Tom ------------------------ Yahoo!
