I have kinda the same issues with my precisionbook. It is very hard to get it powered on. I need to like take out the batterie and wiggle arround to get it running. Also I cant get hp-ux installed. cja, Thomas > Here's a Precision Book for the adventurous. > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3409329433&category=11221
