Hi @all,
i had the same problem this weekend.
on friday my MDA II just died in a phonecall. And it wont nether charge or start.
And i rembered a couple of days before my MDA just claimed about weak backup battery during charging.
But after i fully charged the akku in the 2nd slot of the docking station.
My device started and after that the akku also charges in the MDA.
and evrything is normal again. Iill keep an eye on this.
hope this can help.

what's akku?
J.
edit:
Found this on google:
"Akku: It's the german expression for rechargeble battery 'cause we differ between normal batteries, rechargeble batteries (special type) and the types of rechargable batteries you all know (LiOn, NiCad...).
It's the short form of "Akkumulator" (technical term)."
This is it, right? I understand it as the backup battery, am I correct?
10x,
J.
hi,
with akku i ment the normal rechargeble battery (PH17B).
i dont ment the bakup battery (ML2016) in the MDA.
hope this is more clearly.

I had that problem too.
First of all, put the ppc in its craddle and wait let say one hour, if nothing changes then it's just that your battery is dead. If you have a spare one, use it, otherwise you have to buy a new one.

hi everyone...
i have an i-mate branded himalaya device...went dead suddenley!!!
battery is not charging and all i get is a red light when i connect the device to the charger..
i tried to use another battery, but it's no use and my battery is working fine with another himalaya :roll:
that was 3 days ago...
i left the device because i had something to do when i came back, i turned it on........ :idea: and it worked and hard reseted..
i tried to do a soft reset after a while :?: it went dead again !!!!!
what's happenning here?
i am using the last Offical i-mate ROM...(Windows Mobile 2003)
:?: :?:
I have the same problem with my XDA II as well.
So, how do you fix that finally ??
:?
If I was you, then I shall try to flash the device again with the same or newer version of the ROM. If this is not working then I will call the manufacturer.
Good luck

Hi,
I have an unlocked wizard (MDA Vario) which worked perfectly for several weeks.
It was switched off, I thought because of an empty battery. I attempted to restart 3 times but it hanged during bootscreen ...
But the big problem is that nothing happens when I connect it to my pc to recharge, it doesn't even seem to charge when I connect it to the adaptor to recharge
So if it's a hardware failure, I cannot return it under warranty because in this situation I cannot relock it .
Can anybody help me out pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Stoffel
Im having the same problem... alomost.
My bettery died and then it wouldnt start or charge. I was told to take the battery out and grab an old charger and expose the wires and directly apply the wires to the battery. It worked but my 9100 died again beofer it could fully boot and it still wont charge. I have tried the wire to battery charging method again and it doesnt seem to work anymore.
You may want to give it a try??
Out of curiosity, what ROM do you have installed?
Thanks to Dalamario the problem is fixed ...
He provided this link with an easy solution for this very annoying problem . I really thought my device or battery was defect :shock:
Check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40399&highlight=
I tried the charger of the Vario, the charger of my GPS, ... I removed and replaced the battery,...
I have the feeling the battery "decharged" completely after which it's not possible anymore to charge it ... (if should think this is not possible).
On the other hand ... let's say the battery is dead ... is it then normal that the "charge led" doesn't lightt up?
I hope so because otherwise it's not a dead battery but a defect in the Vario and as it's unlocked I cannot return it under warranty (cannot relock it in this situation).
This device is just a couple of weeks old ... :x :x :?
I think I read someplace that once the battery is DEAD, you can not charge it via USB and can only charge it with the charger. And once you plug it in, you have to turn it on for it to charge.
Or something like that...

Hi guys!
First of all: Sorry for my bad english or mistakes... I'm a german and not perfect yet!
I bought a Vodafone VPA Compact II last month and i'm very happy with it!
Last tuesday, i made some changes on the motherboard of my desktop pc and today i plugged in the usb cable into my front-usb-port... The PPC crashed!
I think, i made a mistake while connecting the front-usb with the mainboard...
When i connect my phone with the normal charging-cable, its upper right LED begins to blink orange! (Before, the led was constantly turned on) Also, the battery life is going down from minute to minute!
Can anybody tell me, what happend to my battery? could it be, that the battery is dead?
Please help me! It's very important!
Greets, Vianney
Try the real charger and see how you make out.
I tried it, and got the same problem. When I woke up this morning, the Phone was completely turned off... I really think, that the battery is dead...
Thanks so far, Vianney
Good news for me myself =)
The institute, where my dad is working, is a partner of vodafone, so my dad can get a new one for me =) in 48 hours, my "old" VPA is at vodafone again and the new one is in my hands

My Neo all of a sudden went blank since saturday.It so happened..

I had to reset the NEO and now its not showing any thing
Does not respond to the wall charger nor any LED only thing happen is the phone gets heated on Charging(as usual as it did earlier)
Does any one know the trick of stripping the wall charger and than short the pins ...
Which is the 1st Pin from bottom or from top..

Where could be the problem as this problem had occured earlier also i remember it was 07/07/07 and I was in office and same the neo went BLANK.
Lucky was I in the evening I went home plugged in the wall charger and it came to life in around 21~30minutes
Hope my NEO is back to life soon !!
Is it really nothing to worry about or shall I start looking for a new phone
Hi...
This same thing happened to my Neo a couple of days back...
here is the trick .. charge it till you see the green led light meaning it charged 100%
THEN keep the battery pack seperate from the phone.
meaning dismental it for a whole day (24 hrs) in a dry place ....
after a day the NEo will work....
my sure did...

I had kept it to charge for the entire night yesterday,thatz around 7~6hrs
the LED does not turn GREEN at all..
I will try to remove the BATT for whole night today..
Any other trick meanwhile,
Also does any one know why does this happen firstly.
Is it because the processor just goes to DEEP SLEEP below 50MHz or there is a problem with IPL or some other stuipid thing
Mine is a G4.and had last installed the PDAViet Touch Flo v5
Any one els who can advice me on this.
Any one had the same error earlier!!
Well you might as well try with other battery. If the old one is not charging it might be dead... Have you tried measuring it?
Had Any One Faced Such A Problem!!

I had given it in repairs..
they informed me that even after installing the BATT prophet shows no sign..
I just dont understand what is the problem has any one els faced such a problem
Rip-prophet??
I just had a word with a service guy where I had given it for repairs!!
He informed me the problem has got notihng to do with the software aspect.
He confirmed its a hardware [email protected]@
Can any one recommed me where can I get the phone repaired in India>>Mumbai..
I Think I will buy a CHEAP nokia now as I dont have enough money to spend again on a expensive phone like this one!!
I feel that the processor has gone in a deep sleep any ways to retrive it to 195Mhz...
Or is it the problem with the IPL/SPL
pls HELP and pray for My PROPHET for its LONG LIFE
Its been almost 15days now and still my neo is not working..
The repaires guy told me that may be something is gone wrong mainly because I had dropped the phone from my hand some 5~10days back before it went DEAD.
Can u guys tell me how manny of u have LOST their PDA phone s after it failed to repair..with the reason for the failure like short circuit or just like mine!!
Can any one help me with the service manual for prophet
I dont know how true is this ...
What if i m not able to get it repaired at all here in Mumbai>>INDIA..
Any one can help me with the board of neo or some solution in repairs..
I feel that the PDA manufacturers must atleast make the phones RIGID or shock proof just like nokia..so it can take some jerk!!and we dont have to LOOSE our valuable phones..
I m afraid but I dont think I shall ever buy a PDA phone again...mainly because its too much expensive for their limited LIFE SPAN just like in my case..
Hey Mate,
When I first got my prophet, it did the same thing, no lights, nothing. I had the battery replaced with an NON-OFFICIAL prophet battery (i.e, A cheap unbranded one), and it went - it's running perfectly now too with WM6
