I had my Z C3000 with me at the office today and was using it fine. When I came back home I tried but couldn't turn it on. At first I though the battery was dead so I plugged in the charger but still I can't turn it on. The charging light is one so I dunno what's up.
I tried removing the battery for a few seconds and putting it back in but that didn't help. Any ideas? |

Reset by pushing the reset button and lose my data? No.
My Z is up and working now. I guess there must be a minimum level the battery must be at, even with the charger plugged in, for the Z to come up. After letting it charge for an hour it booted up fine. |

You are not going to lose data by resetting - thats the beauty of the Zaurus (the recent ones).
Yes it takes a considerable charge to fire it up again. |

Yes Lithium Ion batteries have circuitry to prevent over charging. If there is not enough power for that circuitry, the Z won't power on.

I didn't check but I thought resetting would undo revert the Z back to factory settings, no?
Thanks for the info on the battery! Makes it a bit annoying though when your battery runs out ... even though the Z is plugged into the wall it won't start

no, the newer Zs are more like a normal computer (especially the 3000 with a HDD). The information is not wiped out with loss of power (unless you are in the middle of editting something).
