Dell axim x51v main battery low message. It has been ont he charger and I have the extended battery. How do I fix this?
Check to see that it is in fact charging. If the power button light stays amber and never goes green, it could be battery, PDA or charger. If you do get a green, that pretty rules out charger/cradle. If the extended battery isn't an ORIGINAL Dell, and is more than a year old, it's likely the battery. 2 quick checks: 1) Try a standard life battery. If you get exaclty the same result, your Dell's got issues. Might only need a firmware re flash. But if your going to do it, I recomend going to the LennySH WM6.1, it's faster, more stable, cool battery indicator & other goodies. 2)See if the battery is bulging; if it is, it's time is near. There seems to be a real problem with the eBay'ish extended batteries. On the other hand, I've heard a few guys report ok battery life, and just a low *reading*. Dell batts seem to give the best life, the aftermarket just doesn't have it together. If you dare, Lenny's 6.1 can be found on Mobilitysite, read up on it lot's if you decide to go that way.
