Mobility Site - View Single Post - installing battery doesn't automatically turn on x50v?

YippySkippy · 01-05-05, 04:39 PM

I'm not sure if this is anything (please forgive my "newness"-- just got my x50v a few days ago), but I thought I'd better check around...

In the owner's manual it says "NOTE: The device turns on immediately once the battery is inserted and the batery cover latch is locked."

Of course, when I insert either of my batteries (1100 or 2200) and lock the back cover... it doesn't turn on automatically.

Here's another thing that happened once (I haven't tried it again) that may be related: I charged the axim in the cradle, the power/recharging light on the axim changed from amber to green, but then back to amber. When I turn on the axim to check the battery, the battery gauge is blank. Soft reset doesn't do anything. I take out the battery and then pop it back in, and the battery gauge is reading full.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

By the way, I'm so glad to have found this community (especially yesterday when I was dealing with the whole "motherboard frying" incident... but that's another story! :waaa: )
