If you have doubts about the battery in your device, go back to the shop, and tell them the situation, and that it dopesn't perform as claimed.
In UK, it's the Sale of Goods Act, and your contract is with the seller - not the manufacturer - and they are responsible for sorting it out.
Is US consumer law any different ?
I always thought Nader had sorted it out !
I can't believe the terms of sale/warranty etc,, are too different - or can anyone put me right ?
I am a great one for slinging stuff back if it doesn't do what I bought a thing for - it's my right.  |
Just discovered that the problem isn't my reader or it's battery but the OS installed on it.
When I charge it trough AC there's no problem but when I charge it with my or an other computer the battery drains dead in about 10 minutes. When I reset my reader by the switch after a full charge on USB it keeps working.
So I guess the OS crashes somehow after I unplug it. My computer runs Windows 7 with the Sony software installed, the other computer uses Windows XP without any software.
Tomorrow I'll start testing different scenes to figure out what the exact problem is.
The reason I'm doing all this is because I don't use AC-adapters at all, not for my phone, music player, camera or anything else. I don't want any cables or stuff lying around. I've got one USB cable and that should do it!
