Troubles with a Compaq 1550
I have a backup 1550 that has just been sitting in it's cradle for at
least a couple of years. Recently the charge light went out and the unit would not turn on. I switched the main battery with my other 1550 and the unit still would not turn on, nor would the charge light come on??? Anyone have a suggestion? Dick |

Replace the back up battery. Try a hard reset.

They'll sit on the shelf or charger for a coupla weeks, then when I start 'em up, I get the low backup warning. I realize I'm not helping out with your original inquiry...cuz I have nothing more to offer than the hard reset suggestion. Just wondering if anyone checking in here has seen similar probs to mine. -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...aring/200708/1 |

When I go to settings/system/power, it reads the backup battery as "good". If I take the coin cell out and measure it, it is good. Beats me! Hartley Falbaum |

There was a document on the HP web site that addressed this situation. From memory, the solution was to remove the batter, Press the reset button 3 times, then replace the batter. That would usually wake the old iPaqs back up again.

Troubles with a Compaq 1550
Hi,
I recall a situation where the unit would power-up and show a big "Q" on the screen but never get past it. I found a tip that a removing both batteries and waiting about 10 minutes would cause a hard reset and it worked for me.
