Re: battery help!!!

Welcome to the Forums, ljones06!

 

What device do you have and how old is it?

 

I've never experienced this myself, but it kind of sounds like your battery may have outlived its usefulness, and is in need of a replacement.

 

Have you tried removing it and replacing it to see if that helps at all?

It simply means that the battery is not yet charged enough for the device to recognize it being there... hence the "no battery" symbol.

 

Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.
