re help duo problems chess cats ucsc edu brian vantuyl chess writes i just got a duo and i m having some difficulties if the machine is plugged in to the wall adapter put to sleep unplugged from the wall and woken up it crashes of the time there s nothing but the original system software on the machine the battery has plenty of life i think this must be a power manager problem but i don t know what to do about it also the speaker occasionally makes a high pitched hiss the noise is irregular but seems to favor sleep and restart commands i ve had my duo for a few weeks now and suffer from both of the above problems i reinstalled my system software twice in an effort to combat the problems thinking they were system software problems initially reinstalling the system seemed to help but not anymore occasionally when i try to wake up the duo i get a solid screen of horizontal lines on the screen it freezes i also get the high pitched hiss occasionally but only at startup i ve called the apple hotline sos appl three times already and finally they agreed something is astray after my duo s screen would go dim and the hard drive spun down by itselft and put itself to sleep this problem only occured twice apple sent me a box to ship my duo to be looked at in new york but the problem now is intermittent and i can t afford to be without my duo at this time anyone out there with these same problems brian cherkas bcherkas netcom com i aol brianc compuserve netcom online communication services san jose ca
