Sounds like something more serious is wrong with your libby ... made sure everything that could possibly come loose has been well seated? (dunno about anyone else but that monitor/accupoint cable to motherboard connector looks REALLY flimsy). It could well be that the act of removing and re-inserting the battery pack is enough to move whatever is loose back into line. Next time it happens perhaps try flexing the libby instead of pulling and reinserting the battery pack and see if that works (don't worry, laptop circuit boards, and circuit boards in general, tend to take more punshment than is generally thought, just don't apply CONTINUOUS pressure like having a too-big hard drive under the RAM slots!). >Last time this happened, I pulled the battery WHILE the power cord was still >attached to the unit. Thats generally not a bad thing I would have thought ... how else would you swap battery packs without shutting down? >Could this have zapped the battery, or blown a fuse on that battery? My other >battery works fine in the unit. Perhaps ... I think those batteries have 2 fuses in them (one is thermal and looks like a diode I think), might be worth opening it up and getting out the multimeter ... - Raymond ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
