Palm broken 2


Recommended Posts

See all the wonderful advice for the other broken Palm I though I would ask for words of wisdom on mine.

 

I have a Palm Vx that worked fine for almost a year then the battery wouldn't hold a charge.

 

Bought a new battery and installed it (not a easy job on the Vx as it's glued togeather).

 

With little use I get a low battery warning even though the battery indicator on the main scree says almost full. this keeps hapening all day but battery indicator is dropping.

 

If I leave it off the charger, battery will be dead within 2 -3 days, with it turned off.

 

I have hard reset it (all add on programs removed) without any change.

 

Any words of wisdom out there for this problem?

 

TIA

I would try an "In Cradle-Soft Reset" While the Unit is Hooked to A/C Power. After the Reset let the Palm Shut itself off and let it Charge for Several Hours!. This will Reset the Charging Curcuit and should work fine. :P

I think that's done it.

 

I did the In Cradle-Soft Reset this morning and let it charge for a few hours before work. I have been trying to work it and no warnings and battery level still up there. Tomorrow will be the true test though.

 

thank you,

Derek
