I charged my GPS battery for some time yesterday (30-60 minutes), and was able to boot my FR. I connected the FR to my laptop, and the Red AUX-light came on. I also logged into it, and checked that it charged the device in 500mA mode. From the log of my DHCP-server, I saw that it was active for 20 minutes with wlan powered. Then it died. I recharged the battery in the GPS over night, and tried it this morning. Then it should have 680 mAh. I turned it on this morning at the office, and from the dhcp-log , it seems to be up for ~67 minutes, without suspend, with full backlight on, wlan connected. I think the red light indicated charging the whole time. But as said - this is not a GTA02 battery, so maybe the charger fail to charge. but shouldnt it be able to at least stay on ? I guess its time to return the device for repair, or ? -- Finn-Arne Johansen [email protected] http://bzz.no/ EE2A71C6403A3D191FCDC043006F1215062E6642 062E6642
