Da nützt kein Rütteln am Netzanschlussund kein Reset des Powermanagers, das Teil läuft so lange auf Akku, bisdieser vollständig leer ist. Erst nachdem ich den Akku entfernt habe undein paar Mal versucht habe zu starten ist das PB dann irgendwann endlichbereit zu erkennen, daß die ganze Zeit der Netzanschluss vorhanden war undfängt an, denn Akku wieder aufzuladen.
