Notices Two Things
This one has got me stumped, because it doesn't seem to make sense to me at all why it's happening.
I have a Classic Pandora that doesn't seem to want to charge the battery properly.
I have two batteries the original charger that come with the Pandora, a PSP100 charger from a PSP 1000, and various 5v adapters at numerous amperage for charging via USB.
I've tried several firmwares ranging from official 1.52 through 1.54, Debian on SD, SL4P, but not ARCH.
Often when plugging in the official adapter or the PSP adapter I get nothing for several seconds and sometimes it won't even start charging unless I unplug it and re-plug several times. When it does finally start charging it is not constant or consistent. It will charge awhile, maybe up to 40%, stop for a long while, start again up to 77%, stop again, and then slowly trickle it's way up to 91% or so and then never charge again until I unplug it and re-plug it again.
USB charging behaves more like normal, except in that it takes understandably longer, but still never quite reaches full charge. Perhaps only hitting 97%. In order to get this result I have to use the strongest 5v adapter I have, which is 2 amps. Anything less and it's hit or miss whether the charging cycle will even start, and if It does start will run to completion.
Bear in mind this happens with both batteries.
Does the battery charging circuit have some sort of memory that can get fouled up?
