Blue Angel Not Powering Up

[mroma007]

Hi,

I just changed the screen, that is identical as the original one, for my blue angel, that was down for a couple of months without charging. Now when I try to charge the device it is showing me a red light on the charging led and not orange as it used to and as a result it is not powering up.

Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

Regards,

Michal

hi xplode!
i am not sure if i have understood you correctly, maybe may question wasn't that clear as well.... sorry! so just to be sure...
i wanted to know, if it is possible to charge the battery of the BA without having a running system (rom, wm) on the ba!
is this really only possible in the cradle? not with a normal synccable or charger?

edited to ask: is it possible to do THIS (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_STUCK_AT_STARTUP) with the cradle? or cable? or both? is there really a diference between them?

forgive my ignorance!

It is possible to charge a battery without a running OS on your BA if you remove the battery from the body of the device and slip it correctly into the rear charging slot of the cradle (also means you can have a spare 2nd battery charged up.) If you don't have a cradle, then you're SOL, eh?

Whether your device can charge it's battery without a running OS you should try it yourself and let us know!

Hi, an update on my initial problem.
I received a replacement battery but the problem still persists.

i.e. When I place the device in the cradle it still lights up red LED.

Actually the battery is V20HR instead of V18HRT however this should not be a problem as it has identical specs except it has higher capacity.

Any ideas\suggestions what else could be wrong?



Battery Specs are as follows:
V20HR - http://www.varta-microbattery.com/en/mb_data/documents/data_sheets/DS55902.PDF
V18HRT - http://www.varta-microbattery.com/en/mb_data/documents/data_sheets/DS55802.PDF

Hi
I just had the same thing happen - not so fast with the changing the battery thing - It could be that the onboard battery is flat - leavve it in the cradle with the battery on for a long time and see what happens Thats what I did and eventually it worked - I know it makes no sense but it worked

Hi,

Thanks for the reply however the problem is that I replace the on-board battery, pre charged.

I have not changed the main battery because it charges properly in the cradle.

Regards,

Michal.

Try putting the PDA with the battery on in the cradle and leave it a while - if it doesnt fix it take it out and put it back in a few times - worked for me and device is normal again
Kind regards
