Thanks John. I've tried that, but no change. It does this every
time I shut it down. Will restart perfectly normally once the
battery is completely discharged which takes days. Not enough power
to run it, but just enough to be detected, I suppose. Very strange.

Have you seen this thread? :-

Brilliant! No, I hadn't. Thank you. Managed to get it up and running,
read the thread, upgraded the BIOS and rebooted successfully a number of
times. Perfect. It really is a useful little machine, and I'll be
delighted if this is a permanent fix.

Thank you :-)
