I have a duo 280c that has been acting up lately: I leave it asleep for a couple days plugged in. When I return, the thing's green light just glows bright green and refuses to power up. I then press the reset button on the back and the light starts doing a faint blinking cycle, refusing to start up until I pull the battery and power for a minute or two. Also, sometimes when I try to start, I get the startup boing and then this fart-like sound sequence. This used to happen to an old 280 I had (had to toss the motherboard on that 280 b/c it wouldn�t start up at all after a while). What do you think is going on in this case? -- Andrew � A Mac Freak � ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
