Re: Just got my mp3 nano clone- battery issue?
yea, pc was on. Even after at least 4 hours on the charger, the unit displays its charging, and it after I unplug it, sometimes I can play w/ it a little, sometimes it just says goodbye...it wont hold a charge.
I'm upset w/ this thing. Sucks because its from a seller in hong kong, so even if he will replace it...it will probably cost me $25 to send it back...so I will probably just not even get another one...grrrr
Don't know what to do? I didnt change the firmware, so its not that.
The battery says:
SDL042040SP
3.7v 230mAh
the soldering looks like the wires are a bit thin...makes me wonder if they are getting a connection? I moved them around a little, and after some playing, i got the unit to pass the 1/2 way point of a charge! Before it only listed the bottom slanted battery.
I also noticed sometimes the green light on the home charger goes out. I seemed to have the best luck charging it with the unit completely off and plugged in the wall. I know its still getting power, same as a cell...
What do u think are the chances i got a rare unit that was soldered bad, and has a bad wire from the batter to the board?
