(and to think I was just going to install battery amnesia to see > what could be recuperated...) If the Duo tries to charge the battery before giving the X, your battery is probably dead. But if it seems stuck on the X then you may have to try resetting the Power Manager to see if this would clear it up. To reset the manager, remove the battery and AC adapter and then hold in the reset button on the back of the Duo for about 30 seconds ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
