Hello all, I just received a Duo 280c from eBay. I previously had a 2300c and upgraded to a PowerBook G3. It's huge, though, so I picked up a Duo for high-portability.
The only problem is that whenever I put in the battery (Type III), the machine works four about ten seconds, then shuts down with no warning. Is that a sign of a bad battery? The machine doesn't work at all when only on the battery, and shuts down when running off the AC adapter (my G3 yo-uo) upon battery insertion. It works great with no battery installed. Thanks for any advice. -awc ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
