Battery/charge/boot problem

[Tutti-frutti]

I have flashed the latest HTC update with Windows mobile 6.1 onto my T-mobile MDA touch plus. But I have a problem and I don't know if this is about the firmware, the phone or the battery.
I bought this phone recently (secondhand) and actually flashed this update directly, so I don't have experience with the phone how it came.
Right now, the battery doesn't last for a day without actually using it (even without a simcard inserted). It is clean of software, only flashed the firmware and that's all.
After a day, when battery is empty, the device won't turn on with the charger connected. Even when I keep the charger connected for a whole day. Then I try some things like unplugging the charger, remove/insert the battery, press reset button, connect/disconnect usb and it eventually turns on (I don't know what the real trick is). Battery is empty then, so it didn't charge at all...
Current firmware is Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25). Camera works.
Does this have to do with the software, hardware or do I have a 'almost-dead' battery?
I also like to try to flash the stock firmware, but it won't flash when I have run the sspl 1.16.jump executable on my mda. Or can I just flash the phone with the new stock 1.22 spl ?(fixed)

you need hardspl first ... try again!

I did try that preciously, but the problem was that the 1.16.jump executable booted up the bootflash menu without showing usb. But I did a second try now, and it worked
I am now running the default t-mobile firmware (but I don't get a t-mobile bootscreen.. so it's not a real shipped rom I think).

Battery is 95% now, let's see how long it takes to get empty again...

Battery is empty now, so this had nothing to do with the firmware.
I try to charge the mda with a different charger, because the one that I had was an aftermarket type.

I have another question. When I charge the phone, should the orange light in the speaker turn on? It stays off here...

When in charging mode, via charger or USB cable, the light will be orange, turning yellow once fully charged.

That doesn't happen.. It charges, but it doesn't show any light
Is there a way to check the battery instead of buying a new one ?

I have bought a new battery, but the problem persists

The last thing I want to try is flashing another or original radio. I have read that battery drain can be the result of having the wrong radio version. I hope this is the case.
My device is a niki200 and it is currently running Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25).
I'm unsure if a niki200 device needs a different radio than niki100's. Therefore I like to get a original T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus rom (Dutch/NLD) or a radio that is 100% compatible with the phone. Which radio do I need? And where can I get an original T-Mobile rom, or do I have to request it?

I hope the problem is in the radio, otherwise the hardware itself is faulty

Problem is fixed. It was a hardware issue. The keyboard lights and gsm/charge status leds didn't work at all. Only when I moved the display housing a little bit, I sometimes got these lights working. I have disassembled the phone, reconnected everything.. and it all works fine again . Battery is 95% after 16 hours standby! I'm happy again!

all nike can use the same radios ... only japan nikes use different radios!

I want to say thanks to tuti fruiti, I had the same problem with my touch dual, followed instructions as give, and everything is fine now.

Cheers
