hi richard my name is sean sharp, and i just bought an M100 . . . The deal is that while using the internal modem to call out, the lcd screen went blank . . .after about 5 minutes, it came back on, and then when trying it again, it went out . . .this time it hasn't come back on! what to do??? some other info: i paid probably a too high price for it (150.00) and when i first got it i turned it on, and nothing happened, so i plugged in the ac adapter. it worked. i put in fresh "aa" batteries, and it worked fine. later on i looked at the ac adapter and it is a panasonic adapter that says it is 9 volts . . .when i checked the M100 it says it requires a 6 volt dc. i used the adapter that the guy i bought it from sent to me. i am frustrated tonight, after looking forward to receiving this machine for a week, and now this! do you have any suggestions??? my internet email is: seans@accessone.com if you can help, please please tell me what might be the problem. did i fry the lcd screen? is the internal nicad battery dead? did i get ripped off? and if there is no change in condition, how should i go about trying to get some of my money back, or is that a lost cause at this point? it was paid with c.o.d. i emailed the guy already, in a very nice way asking for his advice. so let me know if you can please!! thank you very much, and also, thanks for this bbs. i think that it is great in my short couple of weeks here.
