Hi

I would like to replace the power pack with something with a larger
capacity. I followed the instructions to remove the two black trims
and 5 screws, and can take out the power pack, but it consists of 3
AA(?) cells wrapped in a moulded plastic container, arranged in a
triangular cross section, with a wire running to the motherboard. The
question is, has anyone else experience of replacing this?

I wonder about the capacity of the cells in the battery pack. It may be
that they are getting old. One suggestion is to replace them with
freshly charged 2300 mah AA rechargeable nimh cells This would let you
keep the plastic container. The 2300 mah cells might have enough
capacity to do the job. "Energizer" makes AA cells that are commonly
available.
