Hi, ok, that does sound like it might be a problem. How old is the battery? How hot is it outside? As I said, I'd expect it to go from ambient up another 15 or so degrees, but not a lot more than that. I think you might have to send it in. Feel free to email me directly with further details, for example this sounds like it's only just started happening? regards, Andy. ---- Andrew Riden Software Development Engineer HumanWare Ltd. 11 Mary Muller Drive, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Never before has it gotten so hot nearing the end of a charge cycle. This gets really, really hot and smells awful too. It hasn't been quite a year, unless I am mistaken, that I had the drive in this thing changed for nearly $190, although the 30-day period or so for returns of a bad repair had come and gone. I didn't have trouble until now, so where do I go from here? Ship it back to the END OF THE UNIVERSE and HOLD MY BREATH if I have enough left? I am all ears for advice on this one!!
