Charging battery problem - c860
« on: September 22, 2004, 04:18:27 pm »
Lastlly i have problem with charging battery in my zaurus (c860)
When i plugin ac battery voltage rasie for about 0,05-0,15v but nothing happend - ac was plugin for about 2-3 hours but battery had the same voltage  ie 3.48 (voltage from battery applet) before and after
When I meansure it with multimeter it shows about 3,7 v
So i removed battery and plugedin ac and mensure voltage on stick inside battery package it shows 3,1 v

Anyone have same problem ? how to resolve it ?

I tryied to charge battery "manually" - no problem mulimeter showed 3,01v before and 3,8v after
So it have be something in zaurus

Changing battery voltage adjastment in service menu didnt help - now it is 204

Did you use any third party power supply or car adaptor.?

Could your Zaurus gotten a surge at some point (like a night thunderstorm)?

Just trying to rule out hardware as the issue.

There were several threads on this issue and it sounds like you have read them.  Try PMing the orignal poster who cracked the voltage adjustment issue and see what he recommends.
