When I got my 1st Comet a few months ago, the battery would only charge for a few seconds, and then it would stop and the battery would register as either dead or not inserted; I think the latter, if memory serves... Anyway, it turned out to be the power board; the component that send the power to the battery... the battery was fine. Craig W. Atlanta GA "If you go to war you have already lost" ---Shogun Tokugawa
