Hi all, I'm having some problems with me previously functioning
handyboard.

to get it to work with IC since the board keeps resetting on its own.

I checked the battery with the volt meter and it appeared that, at first,
it was only seeing .5 volts from the power-expansion headers, but then
when it came on it was back up to its 10.x volts, full charge.  Odd I
thought.

Anyone experience this before?

Thanks in advance,

-Jim Munro
