    Wiz (Bigger) Replacement Battery?

    Someone on the forums awhile ago said they went to a Batteries Plus and they made her a new one. But, I went to/called up about three of those stores in my local area and none of them even touched lipo batteries. Here's the thread...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I'm not going to be plugging it into the wall AC charger anymore, out of paranoia that it might do damage. Although it's probably unlikely. But, when I last charged it up awhile ago (haven't been playing it much recently) I remember it having the standard red light wile charging followed by...

    What Is The Down Side Of A Dingoo

    To be fair, even though the battery for the Wiz is replacable. If your living in the US theirs no place to order a new one within the country. I was looking at prices for replacement batteries and it costs about $55 to order one from Germany or Hong Kong and have it shipped to the US. I also...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I think I may know what the problem was. I hadn't given this a thought earlier. But before when it wasn't charging completely I had the USB charging cord connected to this generic AC wall adapter charger. It charged correctly when I plugged the USB charging cord directly into one of my...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I plugged my Wiz into charge today after playing for about a half hour and for some reason my previouos problems with charge levels seems to be gone. It charged for several hours, the battery indicator said 100%, and I even had it play a video for about 2 hours and in that time the battery...

    What Can I Do With It?

    You could sell the battery. I might be in the market for one if I can't find any place that will build me a new lipo battery pack.

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I Google'd "Tech JM" but found nothing. Could you give the the address and phone number of the Batteries Plus you went to? According to your profile your in Indiana. I'd like to call them up and see if I could arrange something where I could mail them my battery, have them replace the LiPo...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I just went to one Batteries Plus and the guy said that he couldn't do anything. I called another one and they said that while they do rebuild cells they don't rebuild anything lithium based.

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I went to their website and once I saw the logo I remembered there is one only a few miles away from my house. I'll see if they're open tomorrow and stop by. The default 2000mAh battery lasts me about 5 hours. So one that's over 2x as powerful should last in the range of 10 hours. Can you...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I talked to a guy who knows a lot about batteries and he said that once a LiPo won't charge fully theirs nothing you can do to fix them. I'm still looking around to see if I can find a replacement battery and not get beaten by how much that German website wants for one. It'll end up being over...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    Thanks for the information. I don't really have the technology to do any of that. Although my one friend who used to be into electric RC cars does. He looked at the battery and said that all of his equipment is for charging batteries that have two prongs on them while the Wiz battery had three...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    Yeah, but I ordered it from a guy in China. So I'd have to pay $30 to have it shipped back and who knows how long it would take for it to ever get back to me. I checked eBay for replacement batteries and the closest thing I found was this. Which wouldn't work because the Wiz battery has 3 metal...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    When I charge my Wiz the charging light will be red when I first plug it in and for an hour and a half later. But, after that the charge light will be purple instead of red. Which is only supposed to come on when the unit is both on and it's charging at the same time. If I wiggle the male end...

    Dead Wiz Battery

    I've only had my Wiz since December and it seems that the battery is already dead. I'll recharge it and only get a half hour until it's dead. I'll burn on the Wiz after a full charge and the battery charge indicator will only be at 3/4ths. I'll play it for a half hour and it'll be at 1/4th...

    A Very Sad Story...

    I dropped my Wiz while waiting at a bus stop the first week I had it. Bounced off the concrete a few times, but no apparent damage sans a the finish being worn out in a little area where it first hit.

    Wiz Emulators

    I'm using NeoCD4Wiz, not GnGeo. Any advantage over using GnGeo?

    Wiz Emulators

    I tried renaming it that in both the roms and the emulator's root directory. The loading screen comes up and that's all that ever happens. The BIOS was originally called "usa_2slt.bin".

    I Love My Wiz!

    Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my Wiz so far.

    Wiz Emulators

    The only emulators I haven't gotten to work are the Neo Geo and Neo Geo Pocket ones, but that's because I don't know what to rename the BIOS file to get it to work. But than again, I haven't really spent much time researching it as I've been mainly playing SNES and Genesis games.
