[10:31:29] <simc> hey drmikecrowe
[10:31:37] <simc> played with my zipit a bit last night
[10:31:53] <simc> still have all the same problems when running off AC
[10:32:15] <simc> still had difficulty getting it to power on
[10:32:34] <drmikecrowe> and when it won't come on, does it show a "Charging" screen?
[10:33:20] <simc> no
[10:33:31] <simc> I saw that when I first used my aipit
[10:33:34] <simc> zipit
[10:33:55] <simc> but i have never seen that screen since I started having problems
[10:34:28] <drmikecrowe> yeah, it sounds like you have a hardware prob. How did you get your unit?
[10:34:48] <simc> another piece of infomation that is probably not relevent: I started having these problems after I tried the Z2 shell enviroment
[10:34:51] <simc> ebay
[10:35:24] <simc> you can't find them in shops here :)
[10:35:37] <simc> it was a sealed package though
[10:35:43] <drmikecrowe> I don't see how the shell could affect that. I use that a good bit and don't have any issues
[10:36:08] <simc> oh, I tried using my volt meter on the power supply
[10:36:13] <simc> 5.16 V
[10:36:45] <simc> same voltage when using a stepdown transformer
[10:36:56] <simc> so that sounds OK
[10:36:58] <drmikecrowe> yeah, that sounds right
[10:37:36] <simc> will it be difficult for me to return it under waranty from NZ :)
[10:37:47] <drmikecrowe> yeah, the shipping kills us
[10:38:32] <simc> well I could pay for that
[10:39:07] <simc> guess its only fair
[10:40:44] <drmikecrowe> I think we'd be willing to do that. Let me check.
[10:40:53] <simc> ok
[10:48:00] <drmikecrowe> hey simc, np, we'd be happy to do that. I'll go to a postal store today and see what the charge should be
[10:48:33] <simc> okay thanks
[10:48:45] <simc> my email address is simc@xtra.co.nz
[10:49:00] <simc> what is the best payment method? paypal?
[10:50:42] <drmikecrowe> Let me find out and I'll let you know.
[10:50:55] <drmikecrowe> Normally we do credit cards, but we can handle that offline.
[10:50:59] <drmikecrowe> I'll email you shortly.
[10:51:09] <simc> well I have a credit card too
[10:51:14] <simc> okay cool
[10:51:16] <simc> thanks
