Hey Rick,
On a T200, this is a typical symptom of a dead NiCD battery. May just
need a new one soldered in perhaps.

Hi all
Someone has a 200 up for sale with a caveat. This is how they describe the
problem:
"All keys work fine but one potential flaw was found in the power button. When
pressed it wipes the screen and puts up two horizontal lines and seems to freeze.
Cycling the memory power switch on the bottom of the case brings the computer back to
life."
I haven't owned a 200 yet so am I correct that this is a push-on, push-off 2
position switch?
If the switch is mechanically stuck and not staying in the off position would
this be the kind of behavior you would get? IE: The off cycle is so short it's
just flipping on-off-on in the very short amount of time the button is
depressed.
Or is it something else?
I would like to get a 200 but I don't want to buy an unfixeable problem either.
