Title: Battery problem
Post by: Anonymous on March 01, 2004, 11:54:06 am

It seems the battery or the charging circuit of my C700 got a problem.  Even I plug in the charger for a whole night, the battery is still flat.  The battery light is on but after a while the battery light and email light flash alternatively.  Now my C700 cannot be switched on.  Any idea ?

I agree with your assessment.  I think the first thing I would try (because it\'s the cheapest I can think of) is to buy a DC adapter from, say, RadioShack (or equivalent).  I got a variable voltage (including a 5 volt setting), 2.5 amp adapter for ~$12US (if I remember correctly).  If that doesn\'t fix your problem, you probably have a bad battery.
