To Alan: Last night I experienced a very similar problem. During a restart following software installation there was a small screen flash. The screen then went blank, but remained lit. I tried the on/off button and the three finger restart, but neither worked. Finally, I pressed the reset button and the 2400 shut down. All efforts to restart failed. I held in the reset button for 20+++ seconds and then tried again with command-option-P-R depressed. Still nothing. Finally I unplugged the power adapter and removed the battery and left the 2400 in that condition for 20+ minutes. I then reinstalled the battery, reconnected the power adapter and reset the power manager by holding down the reset button until the 2400 chimed twice. I then pressed the on/off button and the 2400 restarted. A couple of weeks ago I experienced a dead 2400 when I tried to wake it from sleep. I used the same process described above, including the 20+ minute wait, and the 2400 restarted. I posted the experience on the Duolist and asked for input or suggestions, but didn't receive any. I was about to upgrade to a G3, but am concerned about doing so until this problem is resolved. My 2400 is still under warranty so I would like to resolve the problem before upgrading and then having to pay for a fix. My suspicion is that the problem is heat related. When the 2400 would not awaken from sleep it was very hot. After restarting (20+ minuted later) Jeremy's temp still read 150+ degrees. Quite a change from the lower temp I was running after installing 8.6 three weeks before. I e-mailed a person selling a 2400 battery on e-Bay. It turns out he had a Newer G3 installed and reported that the 2400 shut down after about an hour. He indicated that he would have to let the 2400 cool for some time before it would restart. Hopes this helps. Would like to know how you make out. Would also appreciate other comments. Stan Stan Bratton ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
