Batter too low to power on....tried charging through computer as always, but did not indicate charge completed.Tried several times to no avail

SOURCE: battery charge indicator seems faulty.

Solved own problem. Bad conection between pcb and battery contact pins. Reheat each battery pin on the pcb carefully until solder reflow occurs then remove heat. PDA now repaired

SOURCE: Power surge on hub port

I am having to send my wife's curve out for repair today as it seems that the very fine connections made to the circuit board from the power port have come away. This port seems to be very fragile, and poorly designed IMHO given that it has to be used so frequently.

SOURCE: battery fails to charge completely

It sounds to me as if your battery is faulty. No way should it take 17 hours to charge. The battery is abviously not absorbing the charge and this could be because one or more cells are defunct. You can just wait until it fails completely or look at getting a replacement before this happens.

SOURCE: Battery wont charge

Well the battery is dead. I don't understand your question. You have always been using it on AC adapter, but today you tried using it on battery and the battery was dead? Use the AC adapter and watch the battery and see if it charges. If not take the battery out and then put back in and make sure it is snug so the contacts are touching..if it still does not charge then you need to notify Acer, its under warranty and tell them the battery does not charge and you want a new one..if you have any questions let me know..
pls rate this with 4 diamonds then you can still ask any questions you like.

SOURCE: My T-Mobile MDA won't turn on or take a charge, battery was low

I had the same problem, but got the idea to "jump start" the battery from Googling the problem. At night, I had turned off my MDA to charge the battery and then in the morning, couldn't revive it. I removed the battery from my MDA, and determined which battery terminal was positive (far end of one side) and negative (far end of the other side) by using a multi-meter. BTW: Battery was still @ 3.5V (okay…battery was still alive, if just barely). Then, I found a 5V DC charger (5W Max output = ~1A) from my bluetooth headset. I used one wire (CAT5E) and connected it to the negative side of the adapter (outer sleeve - again, verified by multi-meter) and another wire to connect to the positive tip of the adapter. I had to strip about 1/2-inch of the insulation off of the wire on the DC adapter side, and about 1/8-inch of the wire on the battery side. Plugged in the 5V DC charger and then I touched the negative wire to the negative battery terminal and held it there, while I touched the positive wire to the positive battery terminal for about 30-45 seconds. Put the battery back in the MDA, started it up, and now it's charging on the regular MDA AC Charger that came with the phone. Problem solved.
