[Duo2400] Re: Glod survey

[Ralph Mawyer]

Two major data points for GLODS seem to be heat and the Power 
Manager. The following has been posted before, but if you're new on 
the List it might save you some grief.  FWIW, Chuck's credibility and 
technical rating is 4-star.

Hi Guys,

I'll also add one bit of advice that has prevented me from seeing a 
GLOD in over two years now...

After a friend of mine who runs the service area of a local Apple 
dealer told me this, I've never seen a GLOD: Never plug the 
computer-side of the AC cord into the 2400c unless it is already 
plugged into an AC outlet at the other end.

Additionally, whenever a battery falls out while the unit is 
sleeping *do not* re-insert the battery until you have plugged it 
back into a power outlet (starting with the wall-end) first.

I had several occasions when the battery would fall out while it was 
in my briefcase... and I would not know it until quite some time 
later. If I popped the battery back it would GLOD about 90% of the 
time. Bad GLOD that required some time to fix. However if I opened 
the 2400c lid, and then put it on AC power (before I re-inserted the 
battery) it would start without fail.

Go figure.

I will reiterate: since I started living by these rules, I have 
never had a GLOD.
