I have had my HB for more than a year, and have had no problems with it at all, until now. The first problem was that I would fully charge the battery, but when I removed the Charger, the HB would suck all of the power within fifteen minutes. Then a little bit later, I couldn't use the normal dl that I have been using. I still have the freeware version 2.853 of everything. Then I found out that if I used the dl~ to download pcode_hb.s19, everything would be all right. When I used the dl, I would get the message that 150 expected, 49 received or something along those lines. But now I fixed the problem of the large draw of the HB (two of the leads of the voltage regulator were touching each other), but not even the dl~ downloader works. Well actually it works, it gives me the initial bootstrap as succesful, and then downloads pcode_hb.s19. But when I go to run IC, it says that pcode version 0.00 is found, and that I need to re-download pcode. Does anyone have any idea!
on what could be wrong? Is there some more tests that I could administer?
If you have any suggestions, could you write back to me at: WL571236@engr.colostate.edu
Thank you very much, Wil Lundberg-

| you easily could have blown chips if the vreg was shorted. then you're putting the direct batt voltage into the chips. just about any chip could be blown. sorry for the bad news! i'd try ordering the socketed parts from jameco and swap chips. fred (...)
