Title: Flashing yellow light when charging
Post by: highfell on April 16, 2004, 05:20:49 am

Last night the yellow light that comes on when one is charging the battery (and then goes off when the battery is fully charged), started to flash when I put the charger into the Zaurus and it hasn\'t yet gone off to reflect the fact that the battery is fully charged.

Does any one know what this means i.e. is this a sign that the rechargeable battery about to die on me or that the charger is about to fail ??

thanks

I had the same problem.....I finally figured out that the problem was the battery contacts.  For some unknown reason the battery wasn\'t making good contact with the battery.  I cleaned up the contacts on the battery and it hasn\'t given me any problems.

Hope this helps.
