There is another way, if it in NiCd or NiMh battery in your unit. This will depend on age. You may not even need to replave the battery, but it depends which type of battery being used.
For NiCd, which is the one know to have a life and memory, that can be sorted, withough a battery change, NiMh is a bit harder as less battery memory. That too cam be rejuvinated. LitIon, it near impossible, as it is down to hardwhere on the board
For the older batteries, there is a solution. Un plug from charging, and keep trying to stary with no pover. get a few secs mame, but do until nothing
do not attempt to charge until you get nothing
then, connect charger and do not turn on for 24 hours, if it tries to open, close screen, and leave to charge overnight. The try and you should be ok
No 100% sure will be ok, but that is best way. failing that, you can get a replacement battery and replace it yourself. many videos available, or better still, get a new unit
I have done this with many with success, so I know it works, but I do charge, and really a replacement unit is better. I have not done many recently as the cost og units is less, and benefits higher anyway.
Also, the cost of batteris has increased and NiCd batteries are no longer allowedLast edited by the Maverick; 1st February 2020 at 12:49 AM.
One day, someone might make things work perfectly before release. Sadly not in my or your lifetime. At least by finding problems and sorting them, we are still alive.
