NEC Starlet probs

I have to say I love my new Starlet (PC-8401-A, CP/M laptop) but it seems to have a problem. When turned off, the memory gets all scrambled. The longer it's off, the more scrambled it gets, until any saved files are gone and the directory entries are filled with garbage filenames. Formatting RAM1 clears it, but it will happen again. I've tried leaving it plugged in and made sure that there are fresh batteries in it. Nothing helps. Also, when it's on, the low battery light comes on or flickers, even if its plugged in. Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
