Howdy Duolisters: I recently acquired a 280, and a couple of used-but-still-good batteries, so I've been getting the 280 set up, and am reviving my 230 as well. I have been having a strange problem in attempting to use Battery Recondition on my Duo 230 or 280. I cannot run _any_ version of Batt. Rec. I have (1.1, 1.2, 1.5) on the 230. When I start it up it just quits and tells me "Batt. Rec. 1.x" will not work on this powerbook" I tried swapping a different batt. in and it didn't make a difference. On the 230 I am running system 7.5.1, with 12 MB RAM, VM on at 16 MB. The 280 has OS 8.1, 40 MB RAM, VM off. On the 280, I can start Batt. Rec. 1.5, and it will take me through the introductory dialogue. When I click "OK" at the "Are you sure..." dialogue, the screen goes white, then blank, and it dumps me back to the finder with a message "The battery was not reconditioned because the app. quit." If I attempt to restart Batt. Rec., I get a "Batt. Rec. will not work on this powerbook" message." If I restart the machine, the app. will start, but the same thing happens. I have been attempting to do this with the Duos plugged into a minidock. Does that make a difference? Should I plug the AC adapter into the back of the Duo itself?
