During my recent trip I think my 2400 took a lot more abuse then what it's used to. Since I've gotten back, the backlight has done a lot of flickering (more like a bright flash) that I normaly see when a plug-in or unplug power. Sometimes my 2400 starts running on battery for awhile. This is not a good thing. At first I thought it was the power plug because my 2400 has slid off a chair, while pluged in, falling on it backside with the power port taking most of the force. But, wiggling the connector dosn't always seem to do anything. I took apart my 2400 and inspected for damage, but could find nothing obvious. So, I think the power board in my 2400 is about ready to die. I'm not one to take a soldering iron to it, so what place will over me the fastest and most inexpensive swap? Or, my 2400 is doing this just to spite me 'cause I got a Cube when I got back and I've been giving it most of my attention. My Duo 2300c did the same thing when I got my 2400. I Swear my 2300c said ... "Oh, you're replacing me? Don't expect me to make it easy for you to get your data ... -corrupts hard drive- ... Ha! That's what you get!" Or, maybe I should stop being so parinoid that my computers are out to get me ... Or, is that what I get for naming my computers after overly powerfull and strong female Anime types? -- Peter Liethen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.liethen.com ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
