Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2003 10:40:46 -0800 Speaking of battery problems, does anyone ever experience a "HD Error" when charging a JBS10 overnight (8+ hours)??? -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: owner-rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:owner-rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se] On Behalf Of Jon Drukman Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2003 9:11 AM To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: battery problems? are the batteries that archos supplies with the JBR20 susceptible to the "memory effect"? i think mine are not working properly any more. i've got rockbox CVS-031118 installed, and i left the unit plugged in all day yesterday and overnight. this morning i checked the info screen (charger still attached) and it said Charging: Trickle. i then turned it off and back on to see the new Charging Info screen which said Not Charging, 100% 10h and some minutes. with the charger still connected, i copied a few folders from my computer to the JBR. my batteries are now down to 87% and that was less than 3 minutes of actual disk activity! i've also noticed that using the JBR normally to listen to mp3's drains the batteries far faster than i would expect based on the battery life estimates shown on the unit. (ie: i can go from 100% to about 30% in just an hour or two of playing). what's going on here? if i want to open the JBR to replace the batteries, what size tool do i need? it looks like maybe a torx fastener. -jsd- Received on 2003-11-29 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
