Hi all. Wow, did I have a weird thing happen last night. I am running all the
latest software/firmware, and have a 1 GB card inserted into my BookPort. Last
night, I checked my battery status and it said it was at 30 percent. I figured
that was enough to get me to sleep, so I did not change the batteries. I
unlocked the unit, then checked to see at what percentage of my file I had
stopped. As I executed the first power move, my bookport made this screatching
sound, starting high and going down low. It actually sounded like it was
crashing and burning, SMILES!
Once it crashed, I could not do anything with it, none of the buttons worked.
So, I removed the batteries, put them back again and started again. Got the
same result. So, removed the batteries a second time, put them back and this
time it said something like f s file format not supported, then screached and
crashed. I tried one final time by removing the batteries and putting them
back in, and this time I got to my book and was able to execute the power move.
About three minutes later, it gave me the battery low message, so I simply
replaced the batteries and it's been working fine ever since.
It sure stopped my heart for a minute or so, SMILES!
