Battery level issue

imported_stickman · 01-09-07, 03:17 PM

Hi,

I have been reading the threads about the battery issues following ROM 1.1 but think mine is slightly different. If I leave my hx4700 alone for a week or so when I come back to it it exibits all the symptoms of being totally flat. Now I might expect this but on plugging it in to a charger and bringing it back to life the battery level indicator shows 60% or so and the backup battery shows power as well. Either the unit does not display the battery level properly or it thinks its flat when it isn't. Anybody had this problem or know what I can do to get round it? I've running WM2003SE and its at ROM 1.10.08. I haven't udpated it at all since buying it and can't find any updates on the HP website anyway.

Thanks

Neil

When I switch my HX4700 on it occasionally shows the wrong battery level - I haven't yet let my battery go flat, but it has gone low at times.

However, when I do a soft reset the battery level then displays correctly.

(For me at least) it's not a show stopper, although it is irritating - but then, I don't think that soft resetting your PPC once in a while will do it any harm.
