Batterie problems with I-Nicel

Spooks · #1 (**permalink**) 15th May 2007, 11:07 am

Hello

I bought few weeks ago a 2GB I-Nickel player , for one of my friends.

I gave him, and the next morning , he told me that the batteries just holded 1 minute , the next morning, even after an USB full recharging ! It seems that the battery is emptying when the player is OFF !

This is strange because I never heard about such a problem ! I have a Chipod Nano (buyed @ Ebay, really 4Gb memory

) , turned it off 3 weeks ago, turn it on today, and it have still batteries !

So, what should I do ? send it back to UXcell ?

Thanks a lot for your responses , and sorry for my english ! :roll:

Sending it back to uxcell would cost you more than the player itself. Maybe you should try to change the battery?

I don't know, because i'm really bad for all these things like changing batterie, I'm not able to use my hands correctly (as we say in french, maybe also in english : " I have 2 left hands ")

Hum ... I don't know what to do ^^ I'll search for tutos to see how change correctly the batterie ! Do Uxcell sell batteries for I-Nickel ? I have'nt found them on Uxcell ...

Have you tried using the wall charger?

Before you do anything you should also try using another computer, another USB port or try using a different/new cable.

I don't know why, but when I tried to charge it with the USB cable, when I turned it ON, there was a loading screen, 1 seconds later in turned off, the again the loading screen, then it turned of [...] dozen of time !

I took the USB cable away, turned it off, turned it on, put the cable in, charge it 2 hours, tested it ... an no batteries problem oO !

So, my problem is solve ... i don't know how a did it, but it's solve !
Thanks a lot for your help
