Cxx0 General discussions / Battery Voltage Adjust ??

« on: May 13, 2004, 07:51:08 am »

My Z is not powering on for some reason which I dont know yet.

I could get to the service menu (D+M way) and did some checks from the various tests that it has.

NAND check (full) was a success. The number of bad blocks is 0.
I believe the NAND flash is still correct and dont wanna try the NAND reflash as yet before trying other tricks. I have taken backup of NAND on a spare 256 MB SD card that I have.

Now, My guess is that the battery charging is not workin correctly ... sometime back I was getting both battery+ mail lights flashing... I removed the battery and now put it back after again going to the service menu.

My question is about the Battery Voltage Adjust... What does it basically do ?
I tried the check and what I saw is something like this...

Main Bat AD : 28 (0.3 V)
Flash Data : ___
delta: _____

I went to the Battery Adjust Voltage menu, it initially showed me 254 as Main Bat AD.... then I pressed [home] and after some time the value of Main Bat AD was 28. I pressed the [home] again ... and saw \"Writing fail !!!\" below the line ...
If I keep my Z in the same position .... AC power plugged ... now I can see the charging light ON and the Main Bat AD is increasing BUT very slowly...

Can someone tell me whether I can revive (boot) my Z like this ... and what is actually going on ??

really appreciate your help,
thanks in advance,

All,

I tried all the necessary steps to get to the point where service menu should be shown on the the Zaurus C700 which I was planning to upgrade. I dont see anything on the screen.

Also, After removing and replacing the battery, when I plug in AC power, the battery charging light starts blinking after sometime. Does anybody know why this is happening ? Is the battery dead ??

please help,
thanks in advance,
