hi,
ok, i finally bought a voltmeter & followed the instructions on taking apart & jump starting the bub. i then let it charge overnight with removeable battery out...& tested- still couldn't manage to change batteries without it going to "memory error".

so, i thought perhaps i didn't re-assemble quick enough & the bub lost the charge i gave. so i dis-assembled again..thinking i'd repeat the procedure..but i checked the bub with the voltmeter & it was giving off a reading (before i jump started it was absolutely dead).

so, i put it back together again & let it charge overnight again. tested it this morning & again; not able to change batteries.

is there hope, since it holds a charge overnight? or is it hopeless since i've charged it overnight now for 2 nights with the replaceable battery out?

should i just keep charging it? or should i just go and buy a battery?

thanks.

ps, with the replaceable battery out & charging - is the orange "power button" supposed to show? (similar to when the battery is in? because right now, with the batt out..the lights' not on...i assume it is charging the bub...but not sure.
