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??
