But, again, let's be clear. Before you try this, you should try the methods
which don't require dismantling your Duo. As I said before, I've never
heard of anyone having to take out their backup battery to reset the power
manager. Simply depressing the rear power button for 45 seconds or so
usually clears up the problem. If not, then remove all power sources, leave
the Duo overnight, then depress the rear power button for about 45 seconds,
then hook back up to power sources and things should be fine. Only if these
don't work would I even consider the more radical step.
