Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 19:48:51 -0500 Which fix do you want to try first? 1. Batteries - Wal Mart - $10 - 5min 2. HDD - Online - $150 - Soldering Iron - couple hours - etc. :) Seriously, the batteries can go bad in such a way that the voltage reads OK, but they cannot provide the current needed to spin up the drive. Especially if only one cell goes bad.
