Mad Dog,
The reason I discounted the main battery as a problem was it would run on it
prior to replacing the pram batt. I could get over 1 hour run time when it would
acknowledge it.
I just saw a post regarding a similar problem on a 2400, George mentioned a fuse
on the MB. Anyone heard of a similar fuse on the 280 ?
Thanks, Mike McGinnis
