reported 16 
vdc out, but it was no go as well.

&gt; Hi there,<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It is possible that you have a dead battery
... remove the<br>
&gt; battery and try rebooting just on the a/c power.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I have had this problem and without the battery it booted just fine.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; cheers<br>
