Then plug it back in and wait five or so minutes and then try powering it on. This has cured most any power issue with a 2300 that I have had. Most likely your pram battery lost it's charge sitting around and now the 2300 is "confused" about those settings. It'll start up and the date will be 1/1/04. You could also check the FAQ that I quoted back to you from the bottom of your email :-). Let us know if that works. If not, smarter folks than me on this list have resurrected their Duos in other ways. Good luck, Randy -- Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read. Forget I mentioned it...
