Once again I'm not getting messages. I'm just getting the digest (delivered to a different address) and finding out what I missed. I feel left out (tiny violins). I just saw your post Laurent: > My question is, is my Duo dead? Can you start it from a battery after a > power manager reset? Any suggestion? If something is fried, what could it > be?

I'm afraid I myself have 3 280 motherboard that, alas, are dead. And I FEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL...your pain as I KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLED one of them myself [CHOKE]! A random screw drifting around inside the Duo landed on a circuit and shorted it out. I should have opened the Duo up and looked for the rattle instead of playing lazy and shaking into what I thought was an out of the way place. Ohhhhh the humanity! Do me a favor Laurent. If this message shows up, send a reply to my address off list so that I know it was delivered to the list. Thanks, -Mark P.S. as far as resetting the Power Manager is concerned. You may not be holding down the power button on the back long enough. A recent post about that corrected me and indicated that you should hold down the button for at least 30-40 seconds. I tried that an a Duo230 that was refusing to boot. After holding the button down for the correct amount of time it fired right up. I was quite happy. Also, as far as the EN/SC is concerned, there are no activity lights unless the Duo is on. At least that's what I recall of mine. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
