battery question (I let it drain really badly)
So I somehow forgot to turn off my Cybook last time I was reading. Then I went on to read TWO pbooks (at least one week elapsed time). Needless to say when I opened up my cybook cover this morning it was dead as a dodo still displaying the page I was on in my ebook.
I plugged it in and about 1/2 hour later there's still no light from the LED and the reset button seems to do nothing and my computer didn't beep to acknowledge it now sees a mass storage device. Is this reason to be worried? Should I just be patient? There's no indication that it actually is charging... |

Hit the reset button & then plug it in again & it should recover.

I tried that and the reset button seemed to do nothing at all either.
That'll teach me to let the battery get so low. |

I'd give it another go, leave it plugged in for an hour, hit the reset & see what happens. Usually the batteries will recover but Li batteries shouldn't really be deep discharged else they can die. It may also help if you have a wall charger, some computer usb ports deliver a lower current output than others, I think the min is about 100mA & the usual 500mA. A USB wall charger would be best in your circumstances at present.

Thanks for the suggestion. Using a wall charger made the difference. I'm very relieved.
