Battery / power

I have a iPAQ 3955 (hardly used bought in 2002). It was working fine. Switched off, and came back after 20 min. Suddenly, does not power up. No light - just dead. Tried directly with a charger and also in the dock. Seems dead. Could it be a bad battery? Any ideas? I have a iPAQ 3955 (hardly used bought in 2002). It was working fine.

I just found my wife's H3800 and she has never used it. I bought it for her back in 2002.



I don't seem to be getting any charge for the battery. With everything hooked up, I can't make the power light come on like the book says it's supposed to.



1) Doesn't the pocket PC come with a battery automatically installed?

2) Is it possible that the battery is just dead and I need a new one?



I have noticed when I get into the backlight settings screen, it won't let me adjust the brightness level for the "on battery", but it will allow me to adjust the backlight for the "on power.
