Problem for C-Technologies C-Pen 600 Handheld Scanner

C-pen 600 malfunction




By vclatino1 on Jul 30, 2008

" "
I have used my CPen 600 for the last 3 years, but no longer turns on. I've recharged my AAA batteries, but this does not work either. I believe there might be something wrong with the pen itself. If you are able to provide assistance, please contact me via e-mail at gil@umail.ucsb.edu As I am in the middle of completing my dissertation, your assistance will be greatly appreciated. I look forward in receiving your response.

Best,

Oscar

- The battery(ies) are the not the problem. I placed the batteries in another item and they work just fine. I always carry two sets to use with the Cpen, which means all four batteries work just fine. Please provide an alternative solution.

Thanks,

Oscar

- How can I determine if it is either the battery contact or another internal problem on the hardware? I have successfully opened the device, but where do I go from here?

Best,

Oscar

How about if you change the battery? because that can also be a problem with the battery or some of parts inside it..

Hope that helps......

Hello,
Well As you suggest That the Batteries are Quite fine and charged,We can assume that either the device is down due to an internal problem in the board or the Cord which is in contact the battery is not working..Thus in Both the cases i would highly advice you to take th C-pen for service to the authorised Company Service centre Who can service it unless Hopefully it is not the time To Replace it in case Where you must a new one my friend..

Thank you!!...

Regards!!..

- Well if you can read the circuit well check for the connections and check if theres any break in it..If so Try to fix it or else please Check With the terminals that connect to the batter contact..It should lead you to the solution!...

- But i would kindly advise you to take it to any Professional Serviceman For servicing as it a Sensitive Device where any minor fault would complicate the problem my friend!!..Thank you...

No power is one of 3 things

1.) Battery / Contacts
2.) power switch or button
3.) dead mainboard.

If its oisnt the battery or the battery contacts then more than likely its the main board thats damaged. You may eighter contact the manugfacturer for a replacement boad or you may need to buy a new one. Other than that there isnt much you can do. As to repairs itself on the board, Its microcircuits which makes repairs and modifications by human hands really difficult.

if you are able to open up the unit, please try to check the contacts of your battery, there is a possibility that the battery contact is broken or rusted.

if it is loose, resolder it and if it is rusted outl just give it a quick cleaning, do be careful though.

good luck

- try to carefully open the unit and check if there are loose solder or broken conenctions, you may need to use a magnifying glass, i would because i have a poor eyesight.
