It has been working perfectly for many months but yesterday it gave me a variety of problems. I use my AJBR daily to transfer files to and from work using the USB2.0 connection. It is constantly powered with a 9VDC power supply. The errors started when I could no longer see the unit in Windows. Then when I tried rebooting the unit, I would get either a *PANIC* DISK NULL, or DISK ATA -71 error. I would also get HDD register errors sometimes. I replaced the batteries with newer, fully charged 2300mAh ones. The problem remained. Furthermore, the unit would have difficulty booting when no external power is supplied - as if the battery power wasn't enough - the LCD was dimming. Now I know the batteries are fully charged and can supply more than enough current to run the thing. I made sure the HDD was OK by removing it and testing it out on a PC, and thankfully it was fine. Any thoughts, suggestions? _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of ."
