Pandora seems to be dead.

[Fluff]

I haven't used it in quite awhile, been rather busy. The last time I did use it it worked completely fine though.


It won't turn on, and doesn't appear to charge at all. I have no idea what could be wrong with it.


Original black pandora.

If its run right down.. I think you need to hook up the charger and leave it charging for a good while before it starts showing signs of charging.

Indeed,when the battery is totally discharged, plug the AC, and wait a while (can be 10mn).

 

[Fluff]

I've let it sit for an entire day and nothing has become of it.


No response with or without the battery in.

 

[Stainy]

Ok remove the battery for 10min put it back in and the hook the charger up

 

[Fluff]

Alright, I will try that now.

 

[TrashyMG]

May want to check if your charger is still functional too.

 

[Stainy]

Yeah do you have anyway of checking the charger.. Volt meter or some other way

 

[Fluff]

Alright, I gave it ten minutes, put the battery back in, plugged it in, and still nothing.

 

[Fluff]

I don't, but I do have various methods I could try charging it, ps3 cable, and usb.

 

[TrashyMG]

USB alone may not be able to supply enough current to power up with a dead battery.

I have a NES in my room, it uses the same cord as the Pandora, if I pop the adapter on it would that work?

Yikes, It's a 9 volt adapter and I think it outputs AC if I recall. The pandora is 5 volt DC.. It outputting AC alone could really damage the Pandora.

 

[Fluff]

Ah alright, won't do that then.

 

[TrashyMG]

A Sony PSP charger is generally the perfect match if you know anyone that has one.

You don't have a second battery, right?


First to check is whether the battery is still good or not.


If your Pandora was good before not using it I don't see why it should be broken now.


Battery might have discharged too much and get damaged.


Is there really no way for you to test the battery?

 

[Fluff]

No sadly not, and I thought the same thing.


Does the sites sell extra batteries? I might order a new one and see how that goes.

I've had good experiences with both places.

Alright. Thanks for the replies everyone. Hopefully a new battery does the trick.
