5300 won't wake up

Since yesterday my 5300 has developed a truly alarming bad habit: if put to sleep with the battery in, it refuses to wake up. It *runs* OK on the battery (AC not connected) though only for something less than an hour; it boots on the battery, or on AC with the battery in or out, but with the batt

16MB RAM card?

when the mistake was pointed out to the seller she was most apologetic, offered either a full refund or a partial refund plus the card, and I decided on the latter. So the 16MB that was in there before is yours if you want it. Just send a check to: Victoria Brandon 5807 Huron A

How many MB in a RAM card?

Greetings to all electronics experts -- Last week I bought what purported to be a 48MB RAM card on eBay, with the idea of maxing out my 5300 at 64MB; it arrived yesterday, was installed, but only 48MB (total) showed up in the system profiler. So . . . maybe I hadn't seated it firmly enough? So t

5300 battery

How long should a battery be able to keep a sleeping PB going without running out of juice? Episode one: my 5300 was unused for a couple of days (sorry, can't remember how long), and refused to come back from sleep on the battery. After being plugged in it woke up, but with a frozen cursor; I re
