Something happened today that really scared me!
I was out working on my 3100, I finished my work and suspended it. The battery was almost dead.
A few hours later I tried to turn it on to no avail. "Dead battery", I thought.
However, even after plugging in the AC cord it wouldnt turn on. The battery charging light would light up but the unit was as good as dead.
I tried everything, soft resets, taking out the battery, eventually the unit after a lot of failed attempts turned on and proceeded to boot ok.
I am now writing this from the Z, it seems to be working ok. However, this incident scared me. Is this behaviour normal? Did my dead battery cause this? Does the 3100 need some juice in the battery in order to turn on?
