IPAQ 5550 Battery failure

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,
I have had a ipaq 5550 for a month now, on Friday the battery said
running low and then went dead. It does not want to re-charge the light
will not go on at all, is there a way of jump starting the battery or
do I need a new one?

Try placing in the charger for a while (ten minutes), then remove, soft
reset then turn it on. Worked for me
