m92 Battery Problems - Could Give the Impression Broken/Bricked/Dead But Isn't

[IluvToRead]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a few battery issues I've had with the m92

Basically when the battery runs out, the machine appears to hang or die.

What I have found helps is to open the m92 up unplug the battery - then it goes off (ie: the screen goes blank).

(In order to unplug the battery, you need to open up the m92, with screwdriver).

Plug the battery back in, close the m92 up.

Then re-charge the battery via usb mini-usb from a wall charger.

(I think charging from usb wall charger gives better results).

I'm sure that over time this problem will go away. I think I remember Booxtor saying it takes about 5 cycles of emptying and then charging the battery before it sort of "starts working nicely".

I bought the m92 about 3 months ago, it's just that the battery needs so little charging that I"m only about to get to the 5 times emtpy/charging landmark.

Anway, the screwdriver I use is the one for really tiny phillips screws. It's the same one I bought for opening my Nintendo DSi. They advertise the screwdriver as "PSP DSi XL Repair Tool Phillips Screwdriver".

I have attached a copy of the screwdriver, if that helps.

Anyway, I have a feeling that there may have been people who thought their boox m92 was broken when it wasn't and just needed the "unplug/replug the battery" routine.

Have fun
