OK, I know this might just be a silly thread, but there are some honest questions in here!
I have a Tungsten E. One that hasn't been used as often as it should have been. Due to it's bulkiness and my love for small purses, I never carried it as much as I should have. However, with my new purse, there is room. So...
I tried to charge it last night, after about 4 months of complete neglect. (OH, I am so horrible...) Nothing. Nada. Not charging. I could just fugghetaboutit! So...
I thought well maybe there's something wrong with the charger. I'll try to charge it through the mini-USB. Again... Nothing. Checked it all night. Nada. It wasn't hep to my desires to be at least a little more egg-headish.
Immediately, I start looking online for a battery for my darling, neglected Tungsten E. As I read further, and come across some reviews for the Tungsten E, I noticed something mentioned repeatedly: "Non-user replaceable battery"
What does that mean? I can't replace it? Can anyone replace it?! I panicked. The $200 spent a year ago might just be worth jack and .... So I started to look for companies that might replace it.. Or just to see if there was a battery available. No battery that I found. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong places.
I decided that my effort was fruitless, and wasn't becoming anything more than fruitless, and that I would worry about it another day. Plus, I had company over. Why was I spending my time looking into batteries when I really needed to be conversing with them?
So this morning, as I crawled out of bed and toward my dear iMac, I look at my PDA, which I left hooked to the mini-USB. At some point in the next 10 seconds, either the PDA magically turned on, or I magically hit the power button... and voila! It's ON! But only charged 1/3 up? Not sure I understood that, but it worked! Oh happy day!
So here's what I'm wondering in the future event of PDA catastrophe:
1.) Are they fo' real when they say non-user replaceable?
2.) Why is my battery charging so friggin' sloooowww!!11!!1!!1!!!!
3.) Where do the egg heads suggest I look for software parts online at a sweet price?
Because those are the really important things in life.
