xda2 wont turn on

[smithy318i]

my xda2 has stopped working

i tried switching it on and nothing happens.

Thought it was the battery but have replaced it with my spare one. same problem

wont charge from cradle or wall charger (not even the led lights up)

light turns red if no battery in and charger connected.

tried reset (soft and hard)


is it time for a new one or can it be fixed?

It could be the locking switch in the battery compartment.

When you move it to remove the battery it uses the backup battery to retain the memory contents (you get about 20 minutes so I read somwhere) and when you lock it again the battery becomes enabled.

If this is faulty then no XDA. One thing I found out to my cost is if you move the switch without the battery in, when you put it back in and turn it on it's done a hard reset and everything's gone.

You said the battery is charged but just to be sure, stick it in the charger slot on the stand for a while and try again. Putting a flat battery in by mistake has the same result as messing with the switch.

I dont know why it did it but i left it without a battery in for about 2 hours and put the battery back in, and now it works.

Hard reset as you would expect !
