help..
i haven't use my dopod 900 for a month then when i'm about to use it i charge it first, minute after i noticed while charging the orange steady light turned to red light and it blinks. i disconnected the charger and when i'm about to remove my battery i noticed that my battery is bloated. a week after i bought a replacement battery. i tried charging again my new battery on my dopod 900 and still instead of steady orange light(sign that the phone is charging) the light is still red and it blinks. But there are times while charging the light is steady orange and that's the only time the dopod 900 turns on then after few minutes the light will turn red and blinks and the phone will turn off..
help..
The bloated battery is called cushioning and occurs when there is liquid damage. Your phone got liquid damage, you can see if I am correct by checking a small piece of what's supposed to be a white blotting paper, it can be found under your SIM card holder. It will be pink. If that's the case and combined with your description, I say your device is on the way out. Sorry.

Hi,
a friend has an issue with his SPV M2000 :
while connected to home charger(already checked connector), the topright LED is blinking red.
After a while, screens lights up, then lights off about 30 seconds later.
The PDA doesn't seem to really charge itself, even after a few hours.
I guess both primary and backup batteries are completely discharged.
(I couldn't find a description of a blinking red LED in manuals or Wiki/forum.)
Anyone could advise as to how to revive it ?
the main battery is dead
been there and got the t-shirt. buy a new main batterey, cheap on ebay.
cheers martin
Hi all,
a friend of mine gave me a broken P3300 that just doesn't turn on. The first thing I've tried was charging the battery but I noticed something strange: the battery' status led is always red, even after some hours. I thought this PDA fell in water and had the battery charging circuitry broken, so I removed the battery but the led still remains red.
Edit: it doesn't even turn on in bootloader mode
Do you have some suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Think it is the chargingsystem in the phone is damaged. Had a qtek 9100 a year ago and blew up that part with tomuch volts. Led turned red then to.
I have just taken delivery of my second replacement MDAC3, and it looks like this one might have a problem too!
When I first switched it on, it got as far as the green wm6 screen then the led flashed red a couple of times and the unit switched itself off. I plugged a usb lead in, the orange charging led came on but only for 5 seconds and then started flashing. It did this for a bit then it started flashing green.
To cut a long story short(er) it seems that the phone will not charge the battery unless it is switched off, and even then it gets to 96% and stops and shows the green led
Question: does this sound like the symptoms of a duff battery, or a duff phone?
As the battery seems to have discharged itself in the 2-3 weeks that the phone has been away

I have the same problem on my htc p3300, and when i used batti 2.4 i saw that the battery temperature is 432675.5 etc something fake temerature. This is the reason, why my pda unable to charge my battery. If you set your pda in bootloader mode, it will charge your battery!. After 3 or more times i charged it in bootloader mode somethimes the battery temp sensor works normally, and the charge is working as well. Sometimes not.
But you can charge your battery allways in bootloader mode.
Sorry for my English.
Try it!
Good luck!

my dash shuts off to charge, when ever i plug it in the charger it turns off and the led light turns red, but it is charging when i disconnect it the battery level goes up, does anyone know if this is a software or hardware problem?
I personally think it could be a battery problem. Try getting a new battery off ebay (its fairly cheap like 6.00 for a stock battery).
k so my htc one m8x was in my wet pants pocket on the bathroom floor over night, the next day when I found the phone it was off and wouldn't turn on, I figured it was flat so pluged in to charger and nothing happened, no charging light came on. so I read a heap of stuff on the net about letting the phoine dry out and so on.
today its been sitting on my computer desk for about a week I decided to plug it in to the laptop and see if it would charge... and to my surprise a little orange light came on and was blinking... phone wouldn't turn on, after about 20 mins on charge I felt that the phone was getting slightly warm I decided to pull it off the charger for a bit then I put it on the wall charger nothing happened for a sec then the orange light appeared then the screen came on with a battery symbol then the screen turned off after a second and the orange light seemed to be blinking faster then it was blinking before on the laptop, I thought maybe it needs time to charge up because it is completely flat.
well its been on the charge for about an hour now still blinking and not turning on, also when I put my ear on the back of the phone and listen I can hear a quite little clicking sound don't know what this means..
can anyone help with this problem, it would be most helpful, I loved this phone I really hope it can come back to life
