Ok, I really should have pulled it apart and looked before now,
and feel absolutely idiotic. :)
The reason that the battery backup wasn't working in my '9000
is that there are no batteries. (that would prevent it from
properly functioning, I'm sure...) I assume that the previous
owner found the batteries to have gone bad, and simply decided
to remove them.
I'll be attempting to contact HP about getting replacements
soon. Meanwhile, does anyone know of any other sources
(including price if possible) for these batteries?
Regards,
Chris
