I wrote a note last week about a problem with the floppy drive on a minisport. Thanks for all the help I got. It looks like, while the drive is a 1.44m the machine only supports 720k. No big problem there. But now I have a bigger problem. All of a sudden the screen won't light up. When I turn it on, the power and NUMLOCK lights come on and it sounds like it is booting but the screen never lights up. Before it quit on me I had been getting a message saying that the "backup batteries" were low. I removed the two cr2430 batteries so i could replace them. The machine still worked fine without them. I had them out for a couple days and now the screen won't light up. Is it possible I have messed something up by having those batteries out for a couple days. I installed new ones but the screen still won't light up. Any ideas? Thanks again
