Default Re: Dead iPaq. Can battery cause all this?

Can this all be the battery? Or wouldn't it have at least started when in the cradle or connected to the car charger even if the battery was totally kaput?

Thanks!
It is certainly the battery. My 3660 behaved exactly the same way when its (ex-)battery died - it didn't even try to boot up/lght up the charging LED on a charger.

Get a self-installable battery pack, and install it.
