Many times if I let a recalcitrant PB stew for a while with AC adapter offline, it'll boot up fine when I flip the power strip switch on again. How many of the lil' buggers have you got in your 150 project stack?

Wanted to say I had one but my give a crud factor is kinda taking a dive. Too many projects and not enough money flow or life gets in the way.
That sounds distressingly familiar, you've got me hesitant to try to boot mine up now . . .

< 20 minutes spent looking for a frappin' AC adapter later ::) >

. . . phew! Mine's still working, one day I'll get to the ADB, SD/internal 10bT hackage. Has anyone seen anything about the possibility of adapting an active matrix LCD from the 100 series for transplant into the 150? I've always wondered if that might work. Maybe the cable is the only thing that would need to be adapted?
