Thanks for the information John. I guess this is something so common
that nobody asks about it enough for it to be placed in the FAQ. :-)
I thought I had left it on the AC adapter long enough, but I will put
my 2100 on a little longer.
Do you know how long the "super-cap" capacitor should normally hold a
charge?
Cheers,
