Casio Cassiopeia E-100 Quit charging??
I bought an E-100. Played with it for a couple of hours on AC power. Battery charge light was on. I was downloading programs when I got an error from active sync that the device could not be found. Reset active sync and seems to work. I did notice that file transfer was horribly slow, even for a serial connection. I was also messin with 5V Compact Flash cards at the time. They wouldn't read, but I later determined that it doesn't support 5V CF cards. The charge light was out...thought it had just reached full charge. The device was rather warmer than I expected. Anyway, the battery was not fully charged and the charge light won't come on any more. I can charge the battery externally. Internal resistance is where it should be. Charges fine and runs the Casio fine. I took the back off and determined that there's 5V inside the unit, so the wall wart, cable and connectors are all working. Before I take it further apart and risk messing up the display cables, thought I'd ask if there are any common failure modes that I should know about. Schematic for the battery charge circuit?
