Hi,

I have a problem with my 2300c (which I only just aquired). I don't know if
this has been covered before, but I haven't seen anything recently:

If the Duo is running off it's battery and I put it to sleep for more than
about 15 minutes, it dies when I try to wake it up. While it's asleep,
everything seems to be fine -- the sleep light flashes steadily. But as
soon as I press a key to wake it up, there's a slight click (like when you
press the power key to boot it), the sleep light stops flashing, and
nothing happens. I have to press the power key and it boots up then. If
it's only asleep for a few minutes, it has no problem waking up. I also got
lucky once and it woke up after an extended sleep (a couple of hours), but
every other time it has died after being asleep for anything more than 15
minutes.

It seems that if the Duo is plugged into the wall and I put it to sleep for
more than 15 minutes, it has no problem waking up. But if I put it to sleep
while running off the battery and plug it in before trying to wake it up,
it fails as I described above.

I really don't know what can be wrong as in every other respect, it works
perfectly (of course, it's a Mac :-)  The battery charging works, and it
can apparently sleep while plugged in (I have less experience with this
though). I'm running 8.5.1, and I don't really have any extra (non-8.5.1)
extensions installed. I tried disabling Energy Saver, but that didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas, or has anyone heard of this happening? Many
thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Jolin
