That's Fond du Lac WI

By the way, have you tried charging your T1000? Mine showed the same response
until I charged it fully again.

Also, you can bring seemingly dead nicads back to life (take them out of
the t1000 first) and with something like a bench dc power supply (I use a car
charger on trickle charge) and zap some nicad cells that seem to die and
usually they come back to where I can charge them again.
