Already tried that :-( . Actually I found this site<http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/28573/?o=0>, which suggests CMOS battery replacement, and...
Measure the voltage on the CMOS battery. Maybe it is not charged up properly. My 505F would not power up after CMOS battery replacement because it is NiMh, not...
I measured the voltage at 2.96V. Interestingly, when I disconnected the battery, I get different behaviour. If I plug into the AC and switch on, I get the 3...
