If I drop my unit (or even just put it down too hard at just the right angle) the battery slips and loses contact with the battery contacts. I then get exactly the same behavior that you described. It appears to me that -- in this condition -- the AC is enough to make it try to power on but it quits when it cannot detect the battery (which explains the intermittent green LED). The fix is to open the battery compartment and push the battery back in. Note that I have a replacement battery. The original battery appears to have had some sort of double-sided tape on it to prevent this from happening. I tried to reproduce this setup with the replacement battery using some tape that I had lying around, but it does not appear to have worked as well.

They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.Received on 2005-09-29 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
