Back when my Wallstreet PB was fairly young, the battery appeared to die
prematurely. However a replacement battery had the same symptoms. It
turned out that there was a bad power control module. I ended up with
two good batteries.
Recently both old batteries appeared to be dead. After trying Battery
Reset on both, only one was recognized and took a full charge. Then
with no other action, the second battery was later recognized and also
took a full charge.
The problem appears to be intermittent. Sometimes the Wallstreet
recognizes the battery, and sometimes it doesn't. (It will work on a
fully charged battery, even when not "recognized".)
Two other intermittent problems have appeared. The fan may come on when
the computer gets warm, but it may not, even when too hot to touch. And
the computer may recognize the SCSI disk mode adapter or it may not.
Can anyone tell me if all three problems (battery charging, fan turn-on
and SCSI disk mode) could be explained by a bad power control module?
Or, is the only common factor the main logic board?
