    	    ASCENTIA 950N NOT POWERING UP WHEN DOCKED TO EASYPORT

    PROBLEM:        The Ascentia 950N will not power-up when docked to an
    		EasyPort.  This problem occurs on with the following:

    		DESCRIPTION     PART NUMBER     REVISION

    		EasyPort        501682-001
    		PCBA            202701-001      6 or below

    CAUSE:          This problem is due to a timing problem of a detection
    		circuit in the EasyPort that renders the EasyPort
    		incompatible with the Ascentia 950N.

    SOLUTION:       The solution is for the customer to return the unit and have
    		the EasyPort upgraded to a revision level of 7 or higher.
