Re: Cannot power on my neo freerunner anymore

The cutoff is triggered by various things that make the battery feel "threatened" including too deep discharge. Once it is cutoff, this is "sticky". To reconnect the battery to the terminals you need to show the terminals a highish voltage briefly, I give the battery 0V and V+ terminals some power from USB for a second or so (but then my laptop doesn't care about a short on USB power, so do at your own risk if you use that power source and don't leave it connected for longer than a second or two). This resets the battery protection circuit and then this can help get the Freerunner started and into charging mode again. - -Andy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkdc68ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMrqWACaA7c2u4EpB9DIm6etxXyFFO+J zU4An03G6xaYKQmzk1YhVmlA4dMtgP0q =fpFq -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Cannot power on my neo freerunner anymore
OK, I'll try all the things you mentioned. The Problem is, I don't have another Battery (ex. Nokia BL5C). But I'll talk to some friends, I'm sure I'm able to find one. Thanks for your help. I'll report the result in this thread.

I almost think that it's the battery that went mad temporarily (see thread "Battery killed" some days ago). The FR worked at once with external power or with another battery. 6 hours later, the old battery was working ok again, too. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Cannot power on my neo freerunner anymore
Also try starting with a Nokia BL5C, attaching the wall charger and then hot swaping the Freerunner battery.

Cannot power on my neo freerunner anymore
Hi Two days ago I flashed the latest Android images. Once Android was fully booted, I started to play around with it. At this time the battery was at least 50 % full. A couple of minutes later, I decided to shutdown the phone and reflash my Qt Extended backup. So I pressed the power button for 2 seconds. Then the screen blacked out immediately. It didn't response to any screen or AUX/Power input anymore. It wasn't the first time I had this issue, so I just took out the battery and put it back in it's place. Unfortunately I can't power on the phone since then. I press power (for at least 10 seconds) and nothing happens... Recharching the phone with my wall charger doesn't work either. Do you have any ideas how I can get my neo back to life? Could this be a hardware defect? I don't think that the battery is dead... Thank you. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
