I turned on my RCX for the first time in about a month. A Month ago, my
batteries were brand new and working fine. When I turned it on today, it
beeped at me like it was dying, and the lcd display started to fade.
Questions:
1) Does the RCX Use power when it is off?
2) Is this normal?
3) When I replace my batteries, do I have to reload firmware?
4) My designated lego room is the coldest room in the house this time of the
year.. Could this have accelerated the power loss?
