Posted by Mad Scientist Jr on November 16, 2005, 5:29 am Please log in for more thread options I have an E-100 which may have a dead backup battery, when I plug in a (known working) AC adapter in it, both power LEDs turn on briefly, then off (one followed by the other). On the other hand, when I plug the AC into my other working E-100, one LED turns and stays on until the unit is charged. The unworking E-100 does not power on, even with the AC adapter plugged in. The battery switch on the back is set to "lock". Is this by design when the backup battery is dead, or is something wrong with the unit? Also, this unit came from Canada - it appears to be identical to the working American unit, but would it have different power requirements? Posted by Mad Scientist Jr on November 18, 2005, 5:35 pm Please log in for more thread options I found out what was wrong - the main battery was broken, it won't hold a charge. I put in a battery from my working PDA and it works fine. Similar Threads Posted Cassiopeia A-11 - manual or any other info?
