So the charging electronics for the L50/70 extended pack is IDENTICAL to that for the L100/110 extended pack? Hmm ... I wonder what the chances are the electronics for the Portege 300 pack is the same as that for the L100/110 extended (I can't make the circuit board fit but I CAN try and unsolder the charging connector and attach it using flyleads ;-) ... why didn't you just replace the cells anyway? (or was the charging board on the 2503 fried?) ... > The difficulty really is getting one's hands on dead (& >cheap) 2503s and 2502s for the transplant. Where would one start looking? Now you've got me interested ... if I can't get the flylead idea to work I might just replace the cells in a dead 2503 ... if I can FIND a dead 2503 ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
