I must have let my IPAQ batteries drain and had no power/nothing happen when I went to turn it on. I am now charging it via the USB cable. The orange light in the upper left corner is flashing, I assume this means it is charging. However, it will not power up at this time. Will I need to reset it after it is charged? Should I have any other problems gettting it to work? Why can't I turn it on WHILE it is charging? Thanks for any suggestions.
For me I prefer charging the iPAQ using the usual cable, not the USB as I had some troubles with that It makes the battery drain faster. So Use a usual charging transformer.
