Thanks, Kat. I don't really expect a repare either. What I don't get is how he can use it while walking if I put it down and yet once he lifts it again it's silent and stuck until he stops and then poof! It's on the ground again until he starts to move again and then it's right back up? It's enough to make you wonder if you're going crazy. Something doesn't add up. The conditions make no sense. What could the shutdown-because-of-dead-battery stance have to do with anything? How can that suddenly lead to his trying to use the leg again? I'm completely baffled. I'm just going to let it go for now. Thanks so much for your support, Guys.
