Battery does not hold charge, does anyone know what kind of battery i need?

Hello Vince,
Batteries for mobility scooters are something of a problem.

Sealed lead acid batteries are used a lot in mobility scooters and they do tend to stop working quite suddenly.

Because of the way a mobility scooter is used the temptation to buy the less expensive standby type of battery should be avoided and for the best lifespan and performance it should be either a battery designated as a traction battery or a deep cycle battery.
This type of battery is designed to be repeatedly discharged and recharged whereas standby batteries (and ordinary car batteries) are not.

Traction quality batteries are more expensive and prices vary quite a lot. Replacing like for like is best and they are usually standard sizes and capacities so a particular type could be supplied by half a dozen different manufacturers at half a dozen different prices.
There are shops and businesses springing up dedicated to selling and servicing disability scooters but they tend to charge a significant profit margin for their services and such things as batteries.

I was recently asked to supply two disability scooter batteries and I checked with Yuasa, one of my favourite battery brands, and they told me a choice of two specifications in the same size case and provided contact details for local stockists.
A couple of phone calls later and all I had to do was wait for them to be delivered. I chose the higher specification and surprisingly they were cheaper where I bought from but more expensive from other places.

Like tyres and other things there are no retail prices and buying in bulk brings lower prices. A busy retailer tends to pass on the savings so buying mail order from a big city as I did could save more than the cost of carriage over buying local.

I hope this helps.

You have dead pixels on the screen.

These are the things that you can do:

• If you are inside of the retailer's return policy timeframe, you may ask for an immediate replacement.
• If you are within the iriver warranty timeframe, you may receive a replacement free of charge if the dead pixels number three or more. (There may be a charge if you wish to replace a player with two or less dead pixels.
• If you are outside of the iriver warranty timeframe, please contact the shop where you purchased the player, or contact your local iriver shop.

Luckily, your iRiver Story has a 1 yr RTB warranty. So, just call the shop where you bought it and ask for a replacement. They will gladly replace it.

Thank you for using FixYa.
Have a great day.

It sounds like a freeze in the hardware, try letting the battery run flat and then retry, if that does not help, then it is to do with your storage space on the device gone corrupt, if you just bought it now, take it back to the shop and get them to replace it.
Hope that helps!!!

Hello,

When system files are missing on the player, you will need to reinstall the FIRMWARE.

When looking online for the connection type for the H10 / H10JR, I can see 2 CONNECTION TYPES for the H10 / H10JR:
1. MTP, when using Windows Media Player 11 ( WMP11 ), for the H10.
2. iRiver Plus, when using iRiver PLUS, for the H10JR.

The connection type determines what software on the computer will be used for transferring media.
Each software on the computer needs corresponding firmware on the player to be installed.
When the player itself comes up with the information to connect to iRiver PLUS, this is the correct software for this device probably. Then the device is a H10JR.

When not having the program iRiver PLUS, go to the iRiver support site, for the download:

In the left column click Plus3 and go for the download.
Run iriver plus 3 and then select [Tools > Portable Device > Firmware Upgrade] from the menu.


Need more help ? Just post a comment.
In case you have the other model player, the H10, let me know if you need assistance for its recovery.

try to do service care and ask them to change the lock and get a new key......problem solved..else go to local shop and change th lock which will cost low

I sometimes have to reset my iRiver in order for my Mac to see it. I have an h10 5gb, to do this, I have to remove the battery then reconnect the battery. Then I connect it the usual way to get into the UMS mode. But I think with yours it has it's own reset button. If it was working and now has stopped, I would think you just need to reset it and try again.

You cannot get replacement parts except from a cheap broken H340 on eBay - the motherboard may be damaged on the one you order. Not available form manufacturer. Most of the time, I would say that these are not economical to repair, but 40GB players are hard to find - call best Buy's Geek Squad and see if they will do it. Otherwise, you will have to go with a local Mp3 repair service (Philadelphia is one of the few cities that actually has one of these).
