This thread always haunts me. We never got it sorted out and I've been living with that battery icon since it happened. I doubt that so many of us could have been losing our minds. Neither Tony nor Mark were able to reproduce the problem (but it appears Mark had it for a little while) so even though they were trying to help, they were limited in what they could do.

I guess Mark saw this behaviour in Laura's empeg too.

Could it be something in the Mk2a hardware that "wore out"? Was it only appearing in Mk2as? Mk2a with 2 drives? Mk2as with over X amount of songs? Maybe certain brands or models of drives (or in combination) draw more power at spin up than others? Was it really HiJack or was it B13? Combination of the two? Maybe the low voltage sensor was not working before hand (giving false negetives)?

Because of all the new stuff that keeps appearing in HiJack and its refinement, I'm willing to live with this, but I'm still amazed that we've never been able to figure this out.
