- Funny- I have always found Toshiba's supposrt to be excellent. Granted it
- takes a while to get a rep, but when you do you get the complete and correct
- answer. They have always solved my problems with ease, and explained
- everything until I understood- very patient. Anyway... I called and checked
- with Bizmart for a battery. They have them in stock in MN and they are around
- $50. The salesman recommended calling (800) 688-6278 to order one. They will
- find a store that has one and ship it on out to you. He didn't think you
- needed a new ac adapter. As for right now... try removing the battery and
- reinserting it when the light is green. This should reset the battery meter,
- and might allow the battery to charge some more. If it gets *extremely* hot
- I would remove it and drain it after it cools down. and then try recharging.
- It will get quite warm when you do this, as most nicads do when charging from
- a partial charge.
