Hi: After several weeks of not so patient waiting, I got my PB Duo 280c and Dock yesterday. It mostly works great with some problems. So I need your help. First does anyone know of a source for downloading a User Guide or Getting Started Manual for this model? Second and more important, I need to replace the backup battery, and I need a source for them, or the specs on the battery. I am a camera repair technician with over 20 years of experience, so I know my way around a circuit, and hopefully, I can do this without destroying this fine computer. Thirdly, the battery will not charge. Reads 6.5 volts, but I think that it is supposed to be 13? volts at full charge. Could the fact that the Pram battery is dead (or very weak) keep it from charging? I have reset the power manager, but it seems to start charging (lightning bolt) and then stops after a few minutes. I read all of the posts from the guy who was putting the Type IV in a 280, but I didn't see any mention about whether the Pram battery would effect charging. Lastly, how do you tell whether you have a type III or a type IV battery. Mine says NiMH on it but no other indication. Thanks guys, hope you can help me. I love this PB.
