I just swapped batteries and popped the flat one into my cradle to charge and the led flashed green then orange alternatively. What the? Anybody know what that means. I then removed said battery then reinserted and got a orange led. very odd.

The battery isn't charging correctly. Try running it down and then charging it. The PDA might report battery as full initially but will run flat very quickly. Guess you have a faulty battery rather than PDA as the other battery charges fine.

Just re-read that, think I might have misunderstood your problem. Is the LED flashing orange and green on the PDA or cradle?

That's what happend to mine after I accidentally ran the battery through the washing machine--it never worked again.

Led is flashing on the cradle.

I think the red/green flashing means it was not completely inserted. When you reinserted it, you got the steady orange "charging" LED. Don't Panic.
