Yall complain of problems with StarMaxen when the battery reads something like 3.7 V. I have some reason to suspect mine's a bit on the low side, so I pulled it out and tested it - unless the multimeter was acting up, it read 1.7 V...
The machine still works, oddly, though seeing as I run it as a Web/FTP/SMTP/POP3 server, it's switched on all the time, and it's only ever off at the wall when I power down the motherboard to reset it in an attempt to make it reboot (the better idea is to keep Reset pressed for about 10 seconds, gives the board a chance to initialise). The only symptoms are that it can get into a habit of going dead when left idle for a while - I'd come back on random occasions to find that it was lost in a daze for some hours - eating up but not serving any Web requests and stuff. I reset the Energy Saver settings and uninstalled Energy Saver, so now it just puts itself to sleep instead. Apparently, this is caused by a low battery, tho surely if it's the battery, then at 1.7 V it would trash everything, clock, boot drive, boot res, volume, Open Firmware settings, the lot, not just Energy Saver and only Energy Saver... Well, time to buy a new battery, I think, regardless... :P -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
