Good day,

I have my iPAQ cradle installed in my car. To power up the iPAQ, I use a car power adaptor (that plug into the cigarrete "lighter"). It works well initialy for the first few days. Now, it still charges well but only when the iPAQ is OFF (standby), when I turn it ON, the power LED behaves strangely. It blinks repetitively at a somewhat rapid rate. The iPAQ does not seems to be charged at all. I'm using a 5V output adaptor, althought the ampere is lower than the original charger adaptor. USB charging (with USB car adaptor) works well but only manage to "maintain" the battery level, that's why I prefer to use the car power adaptor.

By the way, no charging at all if I use a lower output voltage. What is going to happen if I use a higher voltage to charge the PDA (>5V)? Dare not to try yet..


Thanks..
