Problem with extended battery

I have a Motion LE 1600 tablet with the extended battery that attaches to the back of the computer. The battery now will not take a charger and the 5 lights that indicate the amount of charge when you push the button flash for a few seconds. The lights that flash simultaneously are the middle and both ends. What does this mean?

LED indicator for your laptop model
Steady Blue = Battery charged and AC adapter plugged in
Amber = Battery charging and AC adapter plugged in
Slow Amber Flash = <10% battery life
Fast amber flash = 3% remaining TPC will automatically go into hibernate
Slow flashing amber Adapter plugged in = Overheat condition

Do you have a multimeter to test the battery that you are using? check the output current of the battery.

Motion LE1700 Tablet PC repair

If the tablet is turning on, but not booting into your os then there is most likely a problem with the hard drive. If the computer doesn't turn on at all then the battery or charger may not work.

Tried the same thing and got the same result using the motion computing DVD/CD external reader/burner.

Has anyone found an answer to this problem of trying to switch to a larger hard drive on the 1600 with format/installing? The new hard drive was not able to read the recovery disk with OS on it.
Thanks.

Install new os on motion le 1600

You can use an external USB drive, either CD or DVD dependent on your OS media.

I used a Phillips drive, with external power supply, to restore to factory settings using their restore CDs. I also installed Windows Vista Ultimate from DVD, without issues :)

Have motion tablet pc 1600 , suddenly when starting up get "problem or unable to load operating system"

It could be one of several problems:

1. Bad hard drive (reasonable likely depending on age); does the hard drive make noise or spin?
2. Loose hard drive cable (less likely)
3. Virus (likely)

If it doesn't boot at all you can open up the back and make sure the hard drive is "seated" properly - that means all the connections are firmly in place. If that doesn't take care of it you will have to try and reinstall the OS.

Power port on le1600 does not charge batteries.

In some Motion LE1600 tablet pcs, the AC adapter port becomes separated from the motherboard. It will charge in the convertible keyboard or docking station because the power comes from the USB connection (for the kb) or the dock connector (for the FlexDock). Motion used to fix this by repairing the solder joint but now they just replace the motherboard (very expensive). There are ways to solder this but the repair doesn't always last unless you have someone really good do it.
