fujitsu siemens pocket pc problem
« on: 26 February 2009, 18:51:38 »

ive been sorting some stuff out and ive come across nick's old pocket pc he used to use as a sat nav

he had a problem with it when we think the battery was playing up
when it was on the power cable the screen used to flash bright then dull as if the charger was not charging
it used to take ages to charge even on the docking station

ive just plugged it in to charge and now nothing
is it worth trying a new battery or just get rid

its a fujitsu siemens pocket loox 610

Sounds more like the charging jack.

Sounds old, probably not worth repairing...

Thats why the iPaqs we had were 624Mhz ones, coped pretty well.
