had this exact same problem before, turned out to be a blown fuse somewhere on the power board. sent the 2400c to paul vail (of afterhours consulting, also on this list); total cost was something like $150 then, but was well worth it to get the charging back. of course you can still use the machine--but why lug around a dead, non-charging $200 battery (and i had spares, but of course they were no good unless charged as well)?
cheers jose [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, the battery in my 2400 ran down to pretty much no charge. I plugged in the AC adapter immediately and have been letting it charge, but the red X didn't change to lightning bolt after it was plugged it in. I put in another battery I thought was charged (it wasn't) and still the red X, no indication it's charging. All seemed well before the first battery ran down.� I changed adapters and plugged in a Madsonline. It boots no problem with each but still the red X. And It boots normally with each adapter with the battery out. All speculation welcomed, thanks in advance! -- _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
