While connected via AC adaptor, my T23 will beep and indicate running on battery as if not connected and then quickly go back to indiacting it is connected. This happens all within a second or two... seem to happen sporadically at different intervals. I noticed that when moving/jiggling the power cord close to the brick, power would go off and come back on... so I tried a separate adapter and the first issue above (power connected/disconnected/connected) still happens...
Any ideas as to what may be wrong?

No magic really, simply jiggled the connector in the socket - I think when this happened I'd been lazy and hadn't pushed the plug right in.
As it happens now, the T21 sits in a 2631 Dock which is powered, so the problem does occur. Sorry - I imagine this is not really much use to you.
