I got a note back today from @MyPCBackupHelp on Twitter saying that they believe that they have fixed the problem and I should try again. I have restarted the backup process and it will take a while to determine the outcome. I'm hoping for the best! More info to come...

I am having the exact same problem with them right now! I am a small business owner (it's just me!) and I'm backing up my hard drive and my 1tb external hd. In total, I've got about 630gb of stuff to back up (lots of music and movies, but most importantly my photos... Both personal and busines). My backup has stalled at 250gb uploaded and when I contacted them about it, they sent me the exact reply that you got verbatim. I'm so frustrated because there are no exclusions listed on their website at all. I have prepaid for 2 years of storage :(. The worst part is that it said all my files were backed up, but I checked for a specific file that I just creates and found out that it really hasn't updated the files (the ones that it chose to backup) for over a month! Can you imagine how upset I would be if my data was lost...there was no error message saying that some of my files hadn't uploaded or that it had been over a month since the last update (I manually selected for it to upload larger files and from specific folders). As you can tell, I'm definitely not a happy camper!

Thanks for your comments... we'll be doing a full review of MyPcBackup soon, and will include your feedback.

As for "some of them may be taking advertising money from MyPcBackup and don't allow negative comments", I can confirm this is true, but we declined their offer. All of our reviews are based on our own findings, and not influenced by the companies we review (Note: online backup services are allowed to correct inaccuracies, but we do not let them change our opinions).

If it really is the case that by removing and putting the battery did suddenly start working normally, can only be built on the contacts of oxidation. Remove the battery and wipe the contacts with a pencil eraser. If possible, clean the inside the laptop too.

Set it right next to that pacakage of fireworks you have leftover from last year and cover it with a blanket to keep it warm.

Seriously though, take the battery out and get recycle it. Just use the adapter by itself...

I use my kids Power wheels batteries hooked up to a special cord to power cell phones, my modem, router, vonage, and cordless phones for hurricane use. Very cost efective since the batteries are already laying around.

2009-04-02T15:33:00.000-06:00

It's always been my understanding that LiIon batteries don't like to be completely discharged and can handle many more charge cycles than 80.

More likely, Sprint has found a manufacturing flaw in these batteries that cause them to die prematurely and rather than stepping up to replace the defective batteries, they are passing it off as operating normally.

I could be wrong though.

And since batteries are getting sooo expensive now, it's better to maintain them properly!

2008-03-22T18:03:00.000-06:00

Since the battery sits around most of the time anyway, I wasn't concerned with charging it quickly (I have other chargers that can do that). The UPS chargers will maintain a battery in the ready state so in case of a power outage, it is ready to use. I have several that are not providing UPS power backup, they are only used to float charge the batteries.

An upgrade in the current rating would not be cost effective. It would require modification of many of the components inside the unit.

I've tried this simple modifications, but in my opinion if larger battery installed, it need larger charger also. How will you manage that?.

Have you try to modify "capacity" rather than "backup time"? ie: Lets say 650VA to 1200VA modification. That will be a lot more useful.

Follow-up info is in this entry. Or you can always check my current posts.

Actually, looks like a Latitude CP/I to me...but they used the same chassis for a lot of models.

Guess I should be glad all my batteries for that thing are dead. I just use the AC adapter :)
