Its probably beyond its life so try sticking a new battery in. AIr Elonex
were easy ones to get into and play with.


Oh good; thank you. I had visions of something soldered to the board.

Have now found a boot disk, but that does not help because, with battery
flat, BIOS has no record of either hard or floppy drives. I can set,
but the settings are lost on reboot. Bugger.
