Does not necessarily mean much, bad battery? Was there a reason why you
chose to run test 50, from an earlier post?

I may have missed earlier posts on this machine, but what does the command
"show dev" reveal at the >>> prompt?

I have a thread on my site about booting my 3100 that might help if you can
boot or partially boot.  Search for "3100" on my site.
