[Ti] Question

[John McGibney]

Sounds like pram battery is discharged. Try plugging in the Tibook for 24
hours before unplugging it from the charger. The battery should be fully
charged and the pram, if its still good, will also be recharged.

To recondition your battery charge it fully, remove it and wait 30 seconds
before reinstalling it. Do this 3-4 times while leaving the charger
attached. I got this trick from a repair tech on another list.
