(This is going to sound like a lot of other posts, but read on for more details)
Recently I got my C-860 back from Sharp via Japan Direct, I wanted them to look at the CF port, which may or may not have had a problem, anyhow everything was working fine in regards to charging before that, but after I got it back I couldn't turn the Zaurus on. I thought this was my battery, so I ordered a new one, Zaurus turned on. After the battery discharged it wouldn't charge anymore, that's when I started looking on the forums about other similiar sounding problems. I know there are a lot of people reporting problems charging, and have often found odd solutions, like flashing the current state of the battery into the D+M Batt Voltage Adjust menu. However, it seems like I have a hardware issue, I measured voltage across positive and negative terminals on a normal Zaurus C-860 (my friend's) and mine; here's what I got: CODE Normal Zaurus: Charge off: 0.4V (or something close to that) Charge on: 4.2V My Zaurus: Charge off: 3.0V Charge on: 2.5V What is going on here? Any suggestions? I don't really want to send it back to Japan, because last time it took 3 months?! For the record, my new battery seems to be fine, when charged in my friend's Zaurus, I can use it just fine until it's drained. Thanks for reading, as a bonus here's a picture of two C-860s side by side, click for a larger version: ![]() P.S. I meant to post this in the hardware sub-forum, mods feel free to move. |

Did you order the fuses to Hungary? Will they actually ship there? If not, PM me your address. |

They wrote that they will ship out the samples this week so thanks for your offer very much but i hope i will get the samples soon. Btw i got a mail from a representative asking about my company... I hope it doesn't affect shipping if i don't write back. ![]() |

Looks like my charging fuse has gone as well. Does anyone have a spare 630mA fuse which they would be willing to send to me in the UK? Thanks.
