Guys, my Jasjar just died today while I had about 1/8th of the bar left. I didn't see it die with my own eyes, I just put it in my pocket, when I brought it out next it was dead.
Now I am worried about whether it is just a battery problem or if the hardware is really shot. Whenever I try to press the reset button the orange LED lights up for a split second, then nothing. If the unit is plugged in to a PC via USB the PC will detect it momentarily, then tell me there was an error recognizing the device.
If I press both Soft Keys the Orange LED flashes momentarily and I end up getting the boot loader screen where I can press 0 to reset to factory defaults or x to cancel. Regardless of which I do the phone dies out immediately afterwards.
With these symptoms, can anyone here tell me whether it is a battery problem or a hardware problem with the phone itself (and thus needing far more drastic repairs).
I am hoping it is just a battery problem.
Please advise, thanks.
Just an update if anyone has the same problem, I was able to fix the problem by re-flashing my ROM.

Hi all,
My phone is completely dead. My phone ran down to about 5% battery last nite so I plugged it in to charge and thought nothing of it. When I got up this morning however the phone had not charged for some reason and the phone was totally dead. No lights were on and nothing happened when I tried a soft reset or the power button. I left it all day and then pressed the four buttons to do a hard reset and the screen came up saying to press the reset button to continue or any other button to carry on. I pressed one of the front buttons and the phone started to boot but then faded away to nothing before I could plug it in.
Now, nothing happens at all when I press the four buttons...Also the litle slide button to open the battery cover doesn't seem to work and the cover won't come off.
Does this sound like a battery problem? Or is the USB connector screwed, which would explain why it didn't charge?
I haven't done anything unusual with the phone recently or installed anything new...
Can anyone suggest anything?
sounds like your battery exploded....make every effort to remove it and insert a new one. my battery also began to swell somehow but i was able to remove it before it damaged the device...
Hope you get it fixed soon...
lol thanks! Just need to get the battery remove slider button working I guess...
I have a Herald I have been using for about a year and a half now. I been having troubles with the phone charging the battery the last week or so. That problem seems to have fixed itself but yesterday the phone turned off for some unknown reason and now it will not turn back on. I have tried just about anything I can think of. It is like it is dead. No keys respond, the battery has good connection and is in good shape, and plugging in the power cord does nothing.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so any fixes? I am guessing the phone is dead, never to come back again. If so that just gives me an excuse to buy a new phone so it wouldn't be all bad.
Have you tried putting the phone into bootloader. Hold the camera button while pressing the reset button. I bricked my phone once and it appeared to be off and it wouldn't turn on or display anything. It worked when I put it into bootloader. But unless this happened while trying to flash, I don't think that's the problem.
my wing has the same prob...when that happens to me, i plug it to power till i see the orange or green light(no difference)then hit soft reset.....works usually but if not, hit up the bootloader
Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method
Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?
Anyone that's here help?
I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.
I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me
i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.
With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje
ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.
Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.
i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..
Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.

did you try another battery in your uni? also did you try tapeing the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level?
according to the universal service manaul flowchart, a redlight indicated bad battery>bad battery pins>shot motherboard.
so i don't think this is good. anyone got any..thoughts on figuring out WHAT exactly happened?
Hi
thanks for the input
will you please guide how I can tape the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level
many thanks

...almost the same.
my problem occurred after I did a soft reset. It took it a while to boot and every other time I used soft reset the boot took longer and longer until it did not want to turn on again.
Soft reset doesn't work but when it's left on the charger and pressed, the battery light blinks once. It won't charge and my PC registers a device malfunction when connected through USB.
The only sign of life pops up when I press hard reset but after I press 0 or X nothing happens.
Please help!
I have same problem as well, I even bought spare battery but uni remains dead and silent.
Beside the fact that when it's connected to PC, windows show unrecognized usb device.
what happened before it died? did you ... do anything to it? mines still dead as a doornail.
I am not alone :'(
It means many other fellows are suffering from same.
strange , total silence from experienced guys... atleast they can say it is useless for you to try.. and now dig a grave for it.
Experienced guys have their own lives too
Wait with patience till someone replies you and do not double post on same topic please
Hi, hope someone can help. Baterry went dead whilst on a call, it was low. Tried to recharge through USB "device not recognised". Tried power and Orange LED comes on momentarily then phone cycles through booting. Sometimes you can see the boot screen other time just the vibration is felt. Tried soft reset hard reset every which way power on whilst connected, power off etc. Removed battery tried again, same. Left battery out for 30 minutes, same. It now appears to be stuck in bootloader screen and still cycling. How long does one have to leave the battery out? What else can I try???
Jerry rigged another destop charger so I could align the contacts and got some charge in the battery. Put it back in and charging normally, phone booted up as though nothing had happened. No hard reset evidence.
