As Emily Litella used to say, "Never mind." I went back through the old posts, having now found a search utility for this list, and I found someone's old post: >It's clear that the 2400 is an EXTREMELY sensitive machine. It takes very >little to have a 2400 go into a "terminal" "green light of death" or "no >light & click of death" or other troubling and increasingly terminal >symptoms. ....... Here's my latest on dealing with "death symptoms". >1. GREEN LIGHT (constantly lit) >Disconnect AC >Pull Lion battery >Reconnect AC >Reset Power Manager button by depressing it for at least 40 seconds. >--battery out with AC connected results in resetting Power Manager on first >try every time that I've tried it (no more need for multiple resets). >2. NO LIGHT (hitting Power key results in faint click) >Disconnect AC >Pull Lion battery >Reset Power Manager button by depressing it for at least 40 seconds. >--this should work (works for me first time too) but if this doesn't work, >reconnect AC and repeat PM reset, always with battery out. This worked to get it fired up, and I will keep trying to get it back to normal, but for now, I have some steps to try. Any other advice would be appreciated, though. dave Before any of you wrote, I wrote: >Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 13:57:59 -0800 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From: Dave Fleishman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: 2400 death????? >Cc: >Bcc: >X-Attachments: > >Okay, my first time posting, but long-time lurker.
