[M130] battery empty -> Hotsync problem

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

googeling finaly brought me help (althoug it didn't seem to help at
first tries):
A well known DATCN20.DLL - bug caused my problems.
In Palm/desktop: Tools/Options/Tools/Check & repair any corrupted
records
solved my problem.
