- I had a similar problem with my Duo 230. The first day was fine. But on day
- two, after charging overnight, it complained that the battery was low after
- only ten minutes of use. I took it directly back to the dealer, and their
- repair staff traced the problem to the main logic board. Apparently, the part
- of the logic board that measured battery voltage was faulty. They replaced the
- logic board and now everything is fine.
