Hello Fred van Kempen, I've seen your post quite some time ago about your problem with the "locked" battery of the Dec HiNote Ultra. You wrote that is was kind of "locked" and that DEC came up with a small tool to "revive" it. I now have the same problem with my notebook. It doesn't charge...even in the small LCD-display at the right of the display-chassis the battery-icon is not displayed. But I can not find this small tool which should bring up my battery again. The url (revive.com) seems to be replaced. Could you please help me with a hint or something? That would be very nice. best regards Matthias Bauchinger PS.: Sorry for posting it to several email-adresses...was not sure which one would work. PPS.: Your old post: Ha! DEC noticed a problem with these battery packs "locking up" after extensive periods of no activity, so they came up with a small utility (revive.com) to "revive" the batt pack. It worked, too.. my battery came back to life, and, after a full charge, is as good as were it new.. ! Lappy is not a portable, ultra-light TCP/LAT/Serial/X11 terminal :) (muhaha, with 802.11b WLAN ;-) Cheers, Fred
