Hello. I've bought today broken Typhoon. It doesn't turn on, but when i connected cables to the battery and then put battery in and hold a switch, red light appeared under the power button and sometimes display lighted white. When i'm plugging in charger, red light under the power button also appears. Any ideas, how is it broken? what should i do to repair it? help me please
which charger? the one that plugs into the wall or a usb cable that plugs into your computer? If it's into the computer, or not the wall plug that came with the phoen, then it's possible your battery is completely drained dead. When the battery is extra super low, the usb and some other chargers don't have the juice to charge it. You have to have the right wall plug charger i've found.
i'm hopin that's the thing....plug it in, charge it for a bit then try again. Also, once you get juice in there, plug it into the usb port on your computer and hit the camera button. that should jack it into the boot loader mode.

The batteries do die totally over time especially if they are charged from part full and never allowed to totally discharge. Do the do as described and if that doesn't work there are 10 on UK eBay right now one with 256Mb card for £25.00, you can't say fairer than that
Battery is too low in order to initialize the charging process.
Just plug in and plug out the wall charger until the LED turns orange.
Hi.
I bought a Himalaya from ebay that cannot be charged through mains charger...
Although it can be charged through the usb cable..
I tried to charge it with its cradle connected to the wall charger and it's not charging. If i remove the battery and put it on the cradle it's charging(the battery only). Also, i tried my blueangel's wall charger and it's also not working with this himalaya. (it should?..)
So...now i'm charging the device through usb...either with the cradle or just a capable usb cable.
I think that there's a problem with the connector of the device...but i wonder why it's charging on usb and not charging on mains charger.
The best solution that i can imagine is to open it...measure the pins with a multimeter and then short-circuit the usb charging pin with the 'faulty' one...
Any other ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried to alter the connections on the charger. I short-circuited pin 22 with pin 13 and it was charging. Altough...when i tried to solder the short-cirtuit i destroyed charger's connector So i'm afraid to solder something on the 2020's side.
Is there a way or special soldering iron for such jobs?.....
My conclusion about himalaya's charging system is that it's charging from pin 13 when connected on usb but it's charging from pins 20,21,22( not sure) when connected on a wall charger.
For now, i'm using a usb wall charger by connecting the usb cable on it.
dear nicktgr15
Its very interesting.
Could you please give me screenshoot of that PIN connect to wall charger ? Which PIN in the himalaya mainboard .. connect to what Female PIN on wall charger ?
My Himalaya 22 pin choped so can not possible to charge on spot.
I can only charge the battery by remove the battery and charge on seperate charger.
So when my himalaya power is over I have to take the battery out on it and charge it on the general charger...
Thanks anyway.
hello...help the battery does not charge....with 8 months ...why?
I have to buy a new one?
what battery are you trying to charge? does it just not charge at all? does the charging light come on??
Is it the battery not charging or is it a problem with the charger or the cable so no charging light at all?
have you tried an other cable and another charger?
e.g. other cable connected to the laptop?
Hi,
My machine would not turn on, so i plugged it straight into the charger without a battery and it worked fine.
I ordered a new battery and that worked great for a week or so and then it just wouldn't charge anymore.
after a day the machine was left with 1% and kept shutting down.
I would plug it into the charger and it would show the charging symbol that comes when the screen is turned off but no charge would go into the battery.
the machine works fine when i plug a cable directly into the battery port.
I tried changing the mini usb port flex cable, didnt help.
i tried many different chargers and cables all fit to carry 2A (and even a little more) current.
I really dont know what to do... the battery is new, all the cables are plugged in properly (inside the machine aswell i made sure all flex cables are well plugged).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
btw could someone tell me how i can charge the battery independently? so i can tell if the problem is with the machine or the battery?
Thank you!
You could try the following (has proven to work on some occasions):
1) remove the battery connector from the motherboard
2) plug in the usb cable
3) turn the device on
4)plug the battery cable to the motherboard while the device is turned on (i know, sounds sketchy)
5)turn the device off
6)let it charge for about an hour
7)turn it back on again (without the USB cable attached) and see if it actually charged.
