Frank,
If you remember, I did post sometime ago a message regarding a problem I was
having with one of my pack. It turned out that the pack has a little crack
in the case. I'm not sure if that is the cause of my problem, where the pack
will suddenly make no good contact with the MP, causing a restart. I know
you haven't seen the pack and it's maybe hard to tell, but would I have
reasonable chance of repairing that pack? I'm fairly sure that if the crack
is the cause of poor contact, and if I could get it fixed, the battery would
still be good. But how should I proceed with a cracked case?
-Laurent.
