Hi
I am having problems with my c860 ( Cacko 1.23).
The power light is flashing when it used to be constant and I am pretty sure the battery is not being charged.
i have tried a new battery and the machine boots ok from battery but shuts off when I plug the power cable in.
The strange thing is that the battery applet always shows 100%.
( I have reinstalled the ROM)
I am concerned that it is the internal fuses that have blown and I cannot face opening up the unit myself.

Have you searched the forum for power, I remember there being a few topics on how the max voltage setting in the bios can get corrupt.

Hi thanks
i will do that.
Strangely enough I was about to send away for repair when i tested it one last time and it seems to be working!
I noticed that the battery applet was showing less than %100 ( first time for weeks) - plugged in the power and it is now charging away.
I wil still do some research to try and find out what went wrong.
