Hi and again thanks for everybody's input on my battery issue. I just installed a new battery and my Inkpad is working like it is supposed to work, just fine. I believe the problem is that the original battery went to 'sleep' which is a fairly common issue with these 3.7 volt Lipo batteries. They can be 'woken' up by attaching a similar battery to them which supposedly charges them enough to wake them up. I might try this with the old battery and will update on that. I am not happy that PB and the seller from Germany were 'useless' with support with a device less than 12 months old, costing 400 $ Cad and giving only 6 months warranty -- NO warranty on the battery. Even a suggestion from them that the battery might be an issue and an easy and cheap way to fix that would have saved me a few months of time and trouble and worry. The replacement battery cost me 9 $ CAD and has a 3000 MA capacity. I need to adjust the back cover as it is 1 mm too thick but I can fix that.
I will not buy another PB. I also had to have a new usb port installed as the port 'broke' from constant use -- repair guy said it was cheap and installed a better, sturdier one for 25 $ CAD.
So, down the road I will check out one of the Onyx devices.
Moral of the story -- never give up -- and big thanks to Vladimir.
cheers,
Chris
