RE: Pronto batery life
I
usually find dropping it causes either a reset or the contrast gets
completely
buggered.
They
are reasonably resilient buggers though - must have droped mine 100's of
times
onto wooden floor with no damage done.....until about 3 months ago when the
screen cracked :( Had to replace my original US pronto with a UK one
from
Richer Sounds. It seemed a better bet paying 150 quid there than
about 70
quid to import a replacement screen which may/may not have
worked.....
Don't
think the UK ones are as sensitive as the US ones either
:(

I had/have similar problem with
mine. Adjusting battery contacts helped,
but batt life indicator
is
useless due to software problem. As I
understand it, this is a
known
problem. I put mine on the base to charge
overnight about once a
month and it seems to be fine unless I forget.
It also seems to
suffer
very badly if it gets dropped to the floor from the
arm of the
sofa.
It's only about 20 inches and carpeted, so no permanent
damage is done,
but, particularly if the battery is low, will give up
working for about
half an hour...

Remove your rechargeable battery and adjust the
contact pins to make a
better contact with the battery. Replace
the
rechargeable battery ensure
the pins are in good contact with the
battery.
Common fault with the Pronto.

I've got a
Prnoto
with the docking station & rechargeable battery. It
doesn't seem to
charge properly & will only charge for a couple of minutes
before
deciding it's fully charged. Then after a couple of hours of using
it
it
tells me it's dead and needs charging again. Any ideas?

I one of the earlier pronto's and the
batteries last about 6 months so
two weeks does seem a bit short. And I
have the backlight set to always on.

They
do
drain normal batteries quite quickly.
I
have
the recharging unit but to be honest, probably better of with
decent
rechargables - cheaper than the docking cradle if nothing
else....
Contrast wise, you sure
you''re
not just accidentally moving the
contrast wheel (happens to me all the
time) ???
Wouldn't worry about
rubbish
(apart from it looking kack!) as the
screens don't seem that sensitive
a
the edges...

Hi
guys.
For Xmas, I got a
2MB
Pronto, and have noticed one or two odd
things.
* The AA's that
came
in the box only lasted about 2 weeks. I did
do
a lot of learning and
screen programming so wasn't too
worried.
* I replaced the
batteries with 4 Duracells 2 weeks ago and the
battery
life
graphic in the setup
screen
shows its lost 2 bars of power. Is
this
normal?
* The
contrast/brightness starts off very dim when I start using it
for
the
first time in the
evening,
but by the end of the night I find
myself
having
to reduce the
brightness. Is this
normal?
* Is it possible
to
get dust or rubbish stuck in the edges of the
screen
which causes the
screen to be continusly pressed? Or don't
touchscreens
work like
that?
Thanks (Should I be
asking the peeps at
remotecentral)
Rob
