<DIV><BR></DIV><STRONG><U>Thank you, Ron!</U></STRONG><BR> <BR>I have two
laptops in this condition, I tried the same solution--getting a new
battery--on one. The other lost it's hard drive--including
Cybertuner. Took it to a repair shop where they installed more memory
and Windows XP---big mistake! I was just starting back to school to
study hearing full-time, and had most of my hard drive data backed up, so
didn't worry about Cybertuner--I wouldn't be tuning for
awhile.<BR> <BR>Now that I've graduated, I would like to tune some again,
but Cybertuner is gone and XP takes up most of the machine--AND it won't run
on a battery charge long enough to get across the room! Now I at least
know what to do about that--<BR>Thank you!<BR>Diane<BR><BR>Diane

Frisbee<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Another minor saga in the life of
SuperFutz!<BR>> <BR>> For years, my old Compaq laptop wouldn't run for
more than <BR>> about five or ten minutes on a battery charge, so I just
kept <BR>> it on the charger when I used it. Finally, it started getting
<BR>> strange and had a couple of minor psychotic episodes that <BR>>
prompted me to go battery shopping. A new Lithium-ion battery, <BR>> fully
charged, and it fired right up - for about a half hour, <BR>> then blinked
out suddenly. I dinked around with it off and on <BR>> for a couple of
days, then just ignored it for another week, <BR>> putting off the
revelation that it was fried for as long as I <BR>> could. This afternoon,
glaring at it as I walked past, a brain <BR>> cell belatedly fired. *CMOS*,
it said. Well, duh. So I got the <BR>> thing apart this afternoon without
breaking anything <BR>> important, pulled sub assemblies until I found the
tiny button <BR>> cell, went out and got a replacement, and put the thing
back <BR>> together with no major parts left over. It works. Slowly, like
<BR>> it always did. You'd think as many desktop systems as I've put
<BR>> together, upgraded, salvaged, cannibalized, and resurrected <BR>>
through the years, I'd have thought of the CMOS battery <BR>> sooner.
