Hi, I've just got a new Neo FreeRunner and the battery contained within the package was already charged (~3.6 V), but it didn't charge any more. At first, the out-of-the-box 2007.2 marked it as 'discharging' and when i re-pluged the charger, it said status='Charging' but current-now=0!. The same happened after update, and with 2008.8 updated or not.
The battery has fallen since to ~3.4V and yet no charge-current. Confirmed also with amp-meter and 4.5V charging voltage, the charge-current is ~5uA or 0. I 've read some mails but didn't manage to find a similar problem, all others had non-working batteries (output-voltage=0). Please, does anybody have a clue of what should i do next? a) Should i try to identify what is broken? (the battery's protection circuit?) b) Contact the reseller for a new battery? c) Try to fix it? Also, has anybody else purchased a Neo with a battery fully charged? I can provide more device details if necessary. Thank you in advance, Kostis _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
