Problems
Battery life is VERY use and user dependent.
Modems use power just by being plugged in.
Some software prevents APM from working and may result in reduced battery
life.
Some programs with their own cursor control may prevent suspend.
Example: Lotus 123 v4(Windows)
Full charge is essential for average battery life.
Green light does not mean FULL
Pressing [off], [f4][ON] may result in inconsistent battery indications
Resets ALL information about battery, including battery history so the
battery indicator could be inaccurate.
With the unit plugged into AC, battery is not under load and battery
indicator may "bounce" up and then quickly down.
It DOES, however, reread the battery and provide a fresh look at the
battery condition when the agent suspects a bad battery or inconsistency
between the battery indicator and the actual battery condition.
Some early F1065A and F1066A models had bad floppy disk drive cables. When
testing for a bad floppy disk drive make sure you test it with the customer's cable.
Early mice on the OmniBook 600 had some reliability problems. Check the mouse
date code by extending the mouse button assembly (pinch the mouse button
assembly and lift up) and looking inside the assembly. If the mouse has a date code
ealier then 95-37 (year - week #) the mouse should be replaced even if it still
functions.
