I've been reading up the discussion forums on
remotecentral.com and seems like a lot of people have had similar problems,
but
not quite this one - after fiddling around with the battery it sits
charging for
up to 30 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes, but then it
just
starts flashing wildly and nothing will get stop it flashing short of
messing
around with the battery again.
I still haven't managed to get the pronto
turned on
yet using the battery pack!
Thing is, becauae the battery pack fits so
tightly
in the slot, there is not much leaway to push it horizontal and then gently
slide it up as recommended - just traps the fingers. Using
screwdriver to
do this chews up the plastic around the battery pack :(
So, looks like I'll be returning the battery
pack
and just use normal rechargables....
Just out of curiosity Keith - you say you had
the
same problem - how did you cure it? Fiddling with the
battery?

Dan,
I had this same problem when I bought my
Pronto a
few years back. I thought I would have to return it, but after several
attempts it charged ok. The only time I get the flashing light no is if it
isn't sat correctly on the docking station.
Cheers,
Keith

Well I finally get my pronto and docking
station through today and am having a few problems - anyone else suffered
similar things:
- Insert battery pack and start charging -
charges okay for 30 minutes, then the charging light starts flashing!
Reseating/cleaning the contacts has no effect. So....I take out the
batteries as per letsautomate's instructions (they inserted a flyer saying
that they had battery problems and any charging problems *will* be a
wrongly
inserted battery).
So, reinsert the battery, pushing *hard*
against the springs as LA suggest - same thing - no image on the screen,
sits charging for 30 minutes, then death by flashing.
Pronto works fine with normal
batteries....
Should I be returning my recharger &
battery to LA??
