My XDA IIS is not responding at all - a soft or hard reset has no impact whatsoever.
I had a fairly standard crash, which resulted in the processor running hard for a few hours (until I got round to soft resetting). When I did reset everything was normal except the battery was very low, so I plugged it in to charge up. It continued beeping to notify of low battery, even though it was plugged in, and then eventually turned off completely.
It now does absolutely nothing, except when it is plugged in there is a rapid red LED flash.
Any idea or suggestions gratefully received!
This has just happened to my XDA11i today.
No sign of lifeeven after hard reset.
the charging light is red rather than the usual yellowy green.
Please help.

Please help me out, my O2 XDA 2s went completely useless. It started when I use the Wifi longer and sometimes never turned it off. I noticed that the battery (back) was always hot when I touch it. I am always having a problem of soft resetting and even hard restarting. But a week ago, it went completely dead. Since I have no time to check it, I simply left it.
Now, when I try to hard reset it (reset and power button), there was nothing on the screen (completely black) and the light are no longer blinking (BT light and GSM light??) As if the XDA is really DEAD. It has no response and it wont sync too. I have recharged the battery and changed it with a spare battery but the same thing happens. What I notice is that the back of the battery still gets hot.
Please help!! What am I suppose to do?
i-mate PDA2K completely dead, too
Hi, I had almost the very same problem:
I used a 3rd party charger to charge my i-mate PDA2K and all of a sudden the normal screen flashed to the boot screen and the device went dead: no BT/WiFi/GSM lights, black screen, not responding to soft reset or hard reset either. When I plugged in the charger or the cradle, the battery charging light came on.
I took out the battery and wiped the contacts with acetone, but that didn't help. All manners of resetting (power+camer+reset, power+record+reset) did not work.
Here's how I solved it:
put the PDA in its original cradle
waited several minutes
pressed the power button
The thing came back to life, as after a soft reset (nothing from the RAM was lost). I immediately went to the battery screen and it showed a 0% charge of the main battery and a 100% charge of the backup battery. The battery was never hot, though.
I suspect the connectors of the charger I used somehow shortcircuited or otherwise discharged the main battery. Any advice on a good charger cable for the i-mate PDA2K?
I have tried all rest type too as you have said. But it doesnt start or boot. The battery heats up though.
Any help? Please !!!!
Thanks
I awoke this morning to find my BA (still plugged to the chrager) with no green light. it would not power on. I tired to remove and replace the battery, nothing. i tried soft reset and hard reset. when i put it in the cradle the light is red for a second, then goes off. I cant seem to get it to power on for anything? anyone have an idea?? please help! thank you
im glad no one wasted time responding. apparently the charger i was using drained the batteries. even though i got a red light when i set it in the cradle. after some time all is well. no data or settings were lost.
I think, You have some troubles with power converter in your BA.
It responds for conversion 5vdc->3,7vdc for battery charge and 3,7vdc->2,5vdc for pcb powering.

I think, board or rom error
hi,
yestarday i charge my ba until the charging led turn green, i reset, then when it comes to the 3 color lines with the radio version etc at the lower right, it hang. it just display that screen for 5 minutes. then i pull off the battery to reset it. (because i lost my stylus). i put the battery again. now it wont start.
when i put the phone in the cradle, the charging led will not light aymore.
btw, my ba is using wm5.
anyone know what i should do now?
thanks
just to add, when i put it in cradle and connect to pc, nothing happens at pc, but steady red light appear at ba.
anybody have any idea?
thanks
Battery is charged? (take it out and charge using cradle)
Is there "Serial/USB" on the screen (it's not enlighted, you need external light to see it).
If battery is charged and screen is empty not reacting for power and/or reset, you device might be totally dead.
PS: Styluses are not expensive.
jakubd.. yes battery is fully charged. i charge it separately from the ba. there is no usb/serial on the screen.
just when i thought to upgrade to wm6. damn. is there really no way of getting it back alive? hard to accept the fact that its dead.
ps: i have extra stylus, but the stylus hole is already loose. thats why i didnt use stylus anymore.
There is a chip in battery and sometimes it gets crazzy..
You must take off the battery from PDA, then charge battery in cradle...
after 1 hour you will put it on PDA and charge with pda...
It s solved...
shantilas.. i have done it. still nothing happened.
This morning, my phone was dead. I tried plugging it in but found a blinking orange light. I tried turning it on but it wouldnt turn on. Does this mean there is a problem with my battery?
I've gone on several trips lately where I used my phone as a GPS. I just got a new dash mount for it. On those trips, I had noticed a blinking alternating orange and green light. I thought this meant it was charging and I had a notification, however, now that I do some searching it looks like it means overheating perhaps.
The orange blinking did turn solid after a while and I was able to boot my phone.
Could be a battery issue. If the phone is completely dead, it takes a few minutes on the charger before it can power on. Let it sit for like 5 - 10 minutes on the charger, and when the light goes solid it should be able to be turned on. You may want to invest in a new battery.

This is normal behavior for a completely drained battery. The phone will not turn on until it achieves partial charge (I'm not sure off-hand what %), and it will give you the flashing orange to let you know.
As you observed, once you charge it enough, it will turn on normally and everything is fine again.
As for the blinking you observed during navigation, that could have meant notifications while charging, as you suspected. It's also possible that you were overheating, but if so the phone would have stopped accepting charge and the battery icon would have changed to indicate such.
Thanks, it is working again now. I'll have to keep an eye on the battery life to see if it has really gotten worse.
In the car, I know there was one time where it got really hot. I held it next to the AC vent for a few minutes to cool it down. Also, my charger cable may be going bad. I noticed that eventhough I turn off the screen, sometimes it will randomly come back on. I figure maybe this is the cable getting disconnected and then reconnected.
This happened to me before and it turned out it was my charger not working properly. I even got a message multiple times saying that the charging accessory was not compatible but it was the the stock data cable. The problem turned out to be it didn't have enough voltage or something like that because it kept telling me to connect to a wall rather than through USB, while I was using the A/C adapter.

I'm pretty sure that a blinking orange light during use is a "hot battery" notification. On one trip, I had navigation going, while streaming XM and had the car charger plugged in. When I noticed the blinking orange, the temp was at 119F and really hot to the touch. I immediately stopped navigation and streaming, and unplugged from the charger. Since I had the air on, I removed the phone case and battery door and let the AC blow on the phone which cooled it down and the blinking stopped.

No. It doesn't do that. If you are charging, you get a solid red and no indication of notifications.
The blinking red/green means the battery is too hot and is not charging, as other people have confirmed.
Hi, yesterday i was playing with the phone like usual when suddenly shutted down itself, i thought it was a battery problem and plugged into the charger but only shows red light, i tried even pulling out the battery (i did a mess trying to open it but nothing broken) and let a few hours to rest, nothing, even i tried to charge it through an external charger and put it inside again when the indicator hit 100%, but no use, the strange thing is that the red light keeps static even without the battery when the usb is plugged, any ideas?
