Drained batteries, not powering up, next step?

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.

I just purchased a toshiba mini notebook NB 505 it has about 5 hrs. of time on it. Went to turn it on the other night and when it starts up the screen was lite up but nothing else. I can not shut down...

It happens when the NB was not properly shutdown, NB was turned off due to battery drained and left idle or worst there is a problem with the mother board. You may try this; Turn OFF the laptop, remove the power sources (ac adapter and battery). Without power sources, hold power button 10 secs. Put back the power sources, and power ON the NB. If the laptop will not boot by doing this, take it back from the reseller for replacement.

My 307 peugeot wont start no power no lights noyhing was runnig fine all day untill i tried it this morning and nothing

May be the battery of your car is got completely drained. sometimes by mistake any of the car lights or ac or any battery consuming accessory remains on.And due to this battery gets completely drained and due to no voltage in battery the car does not start.In some cases the car does not gets turned off.If there is a problem in ignition switch circuit and this also drains the battery.Get the car battery voltage checked.It should be 12 volt if the battery is properly charged.This will let you know what is the problem .Also check the battery connections if its got loose then this can happen.------------- Thanks.

Hi! I have a toshiba TE2100 and last week when i was using it, it just went off totally. I tried powering it on again but even after pressing the power button for like 5 secs, nothing happened. I plugged...

Try switching on again after leaving the computer connected to the power for a few hours. Perhaps the battery has drained too much.

Battery drained dead in ocld weather

Could be both batteries went bad.
1) I would take battery back to where you bought it and have them test.
2) Check, or have someone check, that battery power is not being used when the key is off and the car is not being used in any way. There will be a slight trickle of power use, but nothing that would wear the battery down in less than 3-4 weeks.
