Hi all - this has reminded me of a problem, perhaps similar, with my 2300c. It is dead, with battery or without, sometimes. It will never boot, but I do get moments of life on the screen, then nothing. After twenty tries, I'll get another moment, then nothing. Will these units start up with a dead system board battery? Maybe we can both pick up some troubleshooting tips, Terry. Rich --- kobayb at juno.com wrote: > Hi Mad Dog and Doc Clu, > Thank you for replying.
