i can’t speak to the problem with the strips, but it’s perfectly fine to use a little double-sided tape on the back of the battery to temporarily secure it while you wait for a replacement strip. this is, of course, a bit confusing. cause you were from a perfect world, a world that threw me away – today. i am now a little clearer what it is i'm seeing when opera opens. you can’t un-ring the bell. if you miss this feature, those around you might be grateful. controls don't seem to work; pressed almost every possible key but no reaction by the character.
