Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2003 08:01:21 -0400 I had the same problem with a new JBR 20 (ROM 1.28), but the battery charge indicator was in the mid 20 percent range, so I didn't even suspect low charge as a cause. I was getting ready to pack it up to return it for service, when by chance I plugged in the charger and let it sit for a few hours. Works fine now, but still worrisome. I think I'll drain the charge and see if I can reproduce the problem, then recharge it again and make it go away. If not, I've got about 20 days left on my warranty.
