Hoping someone may be able to help. I'm working on getting my gear up and running for the coming season and want to use my iPaq HX4700. It has not been used in quite a while, so I ordered a new 3.V = 2000mAh battery. A voltmeter shows that is has juice, and seems to be charging, but the device will not power up.

Does anyone have any experience with this who may be able to offer a thought or two?

Thanks,
Roderick

Here is where I got my replacement internal battery for my 4700. http://www.pdasmart.com/

wow, those little guys are expensive, $45... Can't remember exactly what I paid a few years ago but I do remember it being a bit expensive. I have an Oudie now, with battery prices like that it may make sense to look that way, but there is a well known competition pilot, first name Sebastian, who still flies with an ipaq..

Get a 3900 and dump the 4700 to start with. The 4700 is prone to overheating.

Need to replace the internal battery as well as the main one.
