The first thing I'd do is to buy a new battery for your existing unit and see if that cures the problem. The 650 I have was purchased new from Verizon, about 3 years ago. It has worked well, after an initial problem where it would just shut down for no good reason. However, recently, it has started that same problem again. I've looked on the Internet for possible repair/replace sources and one source said it sounded like the contacts between the battery and the phone were going intermittent which would cause this problem. I've sent the phone off to them to have them look at it and possibly replace the contact pad in the phone. If this DOES cure the problem then it was likely a manufacturing defect since I had the same problem early on. Estimated cost here is $10 for "diagnostic service" plus parts & labor--estimate under $100. Don't send it to Palm--they want $295 to "repair" it (which I'm sure means sending you another rebuilt one). wjmwjm at asisna.comPowerMac G5, 1.8G Dual PPC, 1G RAM, 160G Disk, OSX 10.5.3 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
