Tha who-sit to the what-sit?!? :-D MMMmmmmmmgh... ain't fit fer fancy 'puter fixing. Don't even reckon' I knows whut a "Multi-Meter" is... mmmmmmmmmmmgh. <--- "SwingBlade Talk'n" But I am hoping it is not all of that; mostly because (1) the PRAM battery seems to be functioning fine (I read online that a fuse - the one U mentioned? - control the PRAM and main battery charging), and (2) the laptop seems to "see" the battery for a second when it is inserted, but then it stops and gives me a "no battery/bad battery" indicator.... One thing that would help my diagnosis is knowing whether the symptoms I described above, and the fact that the Battery Recondition app tell me "there is not a battery installed; try to reseat it" when I run it, are familiar to anyone. Is the above indicitive of just a bad 2400c battery? Or more? Thanks, Craig W. Atlanta GA ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
