I am facing a problem which need your guidance, i am charging my battery after 20 days when i use AC charger with 24 PIN adapter, Right hand LED is continuously blinking in Red colour and LCD is also blinking, and seems no charging.
when i placed the PDA on Cradle only red LED is blinking (fast).
please let me know is my battery dead (i think someone replaced my battery ), or something else , what should i do. ?
Model : XDA2i
Thanks
It seems like the problem is with your battery. Can you charge it in a XDA/MDA USB cradle (also used to sync your PPC with a PC)?
i had this problem once after using the 2020i in the car, so i took it inside to my sisters and lugged it into the USB and i got exactly what you are describing. When the screen flashin started, i unplugged it totally... the battery was devoid of power.
When i returned home i removed the battery and charged it in the Aux batt slot in the cradle for a couple of hours. Then returned it to the pda and then replaced the pda back in the cradle. It then proceded to charge fine!
And more to the point has been fine since.
This happened back at Christmas!!
Hope it works for you!

Thanks for the hints. I normally charge my PDA in the cradle itself but will also charge the battery in the AUX slot when I'm at work and want to keep my phone in my pocket.
Is that a hint of sarcasm Triband? :shock:
I was not saying charge the battery in the Aux slot all the time!
Nope, certainly not....it's practical to have both options (at least on the MDA II's USB cradle).
Yesterday my cingular 8125 phone decided not to charge the battery anymore,
I wanted to make a call and it was srangely turned off ( it was at 50% ten min. before)
so I turned my phone on and the battery meter jumped from 48% to 0% and now it wont charge at all!
plugged in it works fine with PC and charger.
Plus the battery info screen olny shows the battery meter for the main battery (0%) and not the backup battery, as if it didn´t exist! (2.17 ROM)
I wish someone could tell me if I will solve the problem with just buying a new battery or If I should sent it for repairs.
Already did a hard reset, no drops, moisture, dents, extreme temp. etc. -- and I have a Delta Electronics charger, dunno if it is the original one, it is not cingular branded. :?:
all thoughts welcome.
thanks!

You need to try the standard charger because it has an output of 1Amps and any less does not seem to kick start the battery into charging. Check your charger and see if it has an output of 1A or not (usb charger has lower output only 400mA) and if not get one or borrow one and try. Most microsoft smartphone chargers use 1A too.
Hi. One morning I switched my atom on and got the notice that I need to charge my battery and a second later the screen went black. I figured the battery charge was really low. Now I cannot charge the battery at all. The red charging light stays on for 20 seconds then dies. I can't switch my ATOM on. Tech Support suggested charging the Atom w/o the battery first for an hour then charging it w/ battery inserted after that. I tried this but still no go. I charged the Atom w/o the battery for 10 hours then inserted the batter but it still won't charge after that. I CAN SWITCH ON w/o the battery but with AC power. It shows Main Battery charge 100% as soon as I unhook the AC adapter, the phone dies. I even tried inserting the battery while the AC is plugged in. The phone stays on but as soon as I take the charger out (after I leave it for 10 hours hoping to charge the battery), I get the Warning that my battery is exhausted and the phone goes dead 10 sec. later. Anyone know a solution? I've ordered a new battery just in case.
Sounds like the battery is dead actually. I think that new battery you ordered will do the trick. The phone itself looks undamaged because it operates fine plugged in to the adapter without the battery, right?
New Battery worked
Thanks for reply Mochan
The new battery did work. I was just worried that the internal battery was damaged. Didn't want to have to send the device back to HK where I bought it.
BTW I bought new battery at good price here: http://tinyurl.com/22eeca hope it lasts longer than the original.
Cheers
I have a problem with my SPV C500. When the battery runs down to 50% I'm not able to charge it by wall charger. It starts to charge but after a while the led goes green and battery indicator says the phone is full charged. When I plug the charger out, the battery indicator will tell the thruth - it's not been charged. Even letting the phone with wall charger plugged in for several hours doesn't help. The only way is to use USB connector and connect it to PC. In this case the "point of no return" is around 20% (I did a test with spare battery). Did you experience such a problem?
I've also had second SPV C500 which stopped to charge at all. Even USB charging didn't help. I had to sell it as faulty :-(
BTW 6.1 ROM seems to save battery life. With WM 2003 SE it took one day to drop to 50%, now it takes more than two days. .-)
Hi,
My wizard main battery (wiza16) was very low and the wizard stop with a message “The internal battery is very low”. After coming back home I have tried to charge but it is not taking charge and didn’t turn on anymore. I recently bought a new battery (wiza16, 3.7 VDC, 1250 mAH) thinking that it will work again but still the same problem, wizard is not taking charge or turn on.
Can anyone help me?? What can I do to start my wizard? Do I need to change the tiny little battery (which is inside the wizard)? Kindly help me.
Wizard service manual
Hi,
See if when you connect the power plug the led turns red, if yes....
If Charge light is red when plug in AC adapter, it means the main battery is not charge enough and can’t power on,
You just need to continue charge unit the light become Amber
If not, i think you have a problem.
Check if charger its working and if its pluged.

Wizard Battery discharge completely
Hi,
Thanks for quick reply. there is no light when i connect my wizard with PC. I don't have the AC charger, I have lost that for long and was using my PC usb to charge. trying to get one AC charger.
There was no problem with my wizard, just can't turn on after it's battery discharge completely. Even the new battery couldn't turn that on.
You'll need the original charger if the battery has complelty discharged as it will only charge from the computer if the phone is powered on.
This happened to me before.
There is a trick to giving the battery a quick charge which will give it enough juice to boot the phone up and allow it to charge from usb. its not recommended but works.
You will need a spare usb cable, cut one end of, strip the wires back and connect the red wire to + and the black to - on the battery, only do it for a short period, about 30 seconds while conneted to your computer.
You may need to give it a few 30 second bursts to give it enough juice.
Pop the battery back into the phone and switch it on while pugged into the PC
Took me a few attempts to get enough charge in the battery for it to boot up.
Wizard battery
You can also use a 9V battery to jumpstart your battery. But then you have to be more careful. I connected the 9v battery to my Wizard battery for about 15 seconds, then tried to start up my device. If not successful I started again with 15 seconds jumpstart..
But you can find more information here in the forum: just search for jumpstart or something similar....
Regards
huibuh_!
Wizard Battery discharge completely
Thank you all for information. 9V battery method didn't work for me. Looking for AC charger online and get a link (http://www2.dustin.se/pd_5010073700.aspx). Do you think this is the right one? If yes, then I can order.
yea that's the right one but if you have a friend with a ppc or maybe a razor you can use there charger most ac adapters are starting to use mini usb just a way of saving some money even though having an ac adapter is good
could also try and get one of those usb plugs that you can plug up to a wall and plug in a usb cable into the slot
but don't take my word for this wit hmy wizard i haven't had it shut all the way day
if anybody can verify this would work
AC charger not also working
I have got the AC charger yesterday. When Connect the Ac charger first time the red light on my wizard showed for just half second then dissappear. Still let that connected for whole night but no response.
Thank you all for help.
@Keland44, most Razr chargers dont work, they MUST be at least 850mA in order for the Wizard's battery to receive anything. The older Razr chargers are sometimes as low as 350mA, but the never ones are as high as 1.2A, so you need to read the label on the charger itself to be sure.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yup that is about right,
If the battery is complelty dead, then you need to original charger.
If you have got the right charger and you get a red light and it goes off. your phone might have a problem.
This happened to my last wizard after stupidly trying to dry out the screen after getting it wet which stopped the touchscreen working (i was drying it out while the phone was still on) well my wizard crashed.
Took ages to get it back on but it was very unreliable then one day, it wouldnt go on and charger done nothing. Unpluging and pluging the charger in several times got a red light on.
Sometimes i could get it to turn on, the charger would charge for about 5 minutes then the phone would die soon after.
Your phone might possibly be bricked.
