Baby with battery won't turn on
Last modified: 2010-02-02 13:21:23 UTC
My PVT2, battery (No AC) played Pandora at 50% volume for ~3hrs on new battery without charging. I did softpower off, came back in two hours, cant turn on. Holding down power key shows logo after 4 sec but logo goes away immediately when power button released. Tried several times. Waited a couple mins between tests to see if slow boot. Plugged into AC (battery still in unit), same behavior. Let sit for an hour to see if it would charge, tried again, no change. Unplugged AC for 5 mins, plugged back in, no change. Let sit over night (still plugged in) no change. Unplugged AC, no change, logo still comes on after 4 sec and goes away when pwr released. Unplugged battery for 2 mins (with no AC), replugged battery, logo came on almost immediately without pressing power button. There was a slight audio pop, "Free you music" but no tone, then blank. Short push of power, Now Playing screen pops up with only 3 items, wireless icon red. Battery Icon now shows 50% charge. It had been down to ~25% for over an hour before I turned it off last night. It was left plugged in all night. Knob nav goes up/down OK, can't go right - makes sound but screen does not change. After a couple mins playing with knob, slight pop, screen goes blank. Quick power push, nothing. Hold power down, logo on after 4 sec, goes away when released. Plug in AC power, quick pwr push, nothing. Long push, boots up, all items present, battery icon shows charging, wireless icon white, navigation working. All seems OK. Pulled AC, continues playing, all looks OK except battery icon still says charging. Maybe a dup of Bug #14081 ?
I saw this on Fri night with a PVT2. I was with friends, so didn't have a chance to test in detail. In my case, I disconnected the battery and then pressed power with AC connected and it powered up fine. I'll try to reproduce.
Quick pwr push, goes off. Quick push, screen flashes NP, goes off. Quick push, comes on, works fine, battery icon still says charging (AC is not on). Hard pwr off (hold down pwr), logo comes on as normal, after a few sec, goes blank and does nothing. Quick push, nothing. Long push, logo on after 4 sec, then nothing. Held pwer, logo on after 4 sec, released key after 30 sec, "free your music" tone, pop, black... Tried again, logo at 4, "Free.." at 30, NP at 60. Released button at 65, immediately goes blank. Plugged in AC, logo comes on, "Free..", pop, no tone, NP screen with all items, charging, wireless white, Nav'd right, right, CM comes up, pop, all goes black. Hold pwr down, goes through boot as long as pwr held, goes blank when released.
Unplugged battery, still in same state - looks like booting but only as long as you keep pwr key pressed. Unplugged AC, waited 30 sec, plugged AC (no battery), booted normally, all appears good. No battery icon.
Probably duplicate of bug 14120.
Please try to reproduce with r7666 or later.
Experienced the same behaviour as reported by Pat with 7653. Left the baby over the weekend. Will try to update and test again overnight.
