Hi Ken,

Thank you for your prompt response! I've left the device on a charger for 3 days while I was away. Still nothing.

You are right on the trickle charging. This is not what I meant; sorry for the confusion.
I've had a Archos G9 80 tablet that seemed depleted at one point. After you let it stay on a charger for more than a day, the battery would be charged enough for it to boot. So it would charge; only very slowly. When shutting down the device it warns you it will not charge when shutdown. The tablet I have now has some basic charging logic where it pictures a battery on screen that "charges".

- While using Coolreader to read my books I noticed the device does not charge when I plugged in the charger; this made me restart the device into Nickle to have it charge.
- Now it has depleted while using Coolreader. I am afraid that there is no more charge left for the device to operate any logic and thus is not able to charge.

The past 3 days I've thought about it and I've decided to open the device up and get the battery charged externally or hook up an external battery.

Again, Thank you for your contributions on these forums!
Will let you know how this ends; hopefully not in tears ;-)
