Title: jb3 will not turn on....
Post by: heath on May 06, 2005, 02:44:33 PM
OK.  SO last night i was charging my jb3--everything was fine.  Let it charge overnight and then most of today.  I just got home and noticed that the battery charging icon was no longer flashing...  Blank display.  Try to turn on the jb3 and nothing happens both with and without it plugged in.  It was working perfectly less than 24 hours ago....  WTF.  Any ideas?  I need to use this puppy tomorrow.....   :-\

I'm sure you've done this, but are you taking the batteries out, then putting them back in as well?

try resetting it, if that does not work, remove the batteries andthen try plugging it in
and see if it powers up.
It probably is confused...
If it does not power up with battereis out and AC power then I would start to be concerned.
At that point I am not sure what I would do...

did you try rushing it, like hurrying when trying to turn it on/off, cause the jb3 does NOT LIKE to be rushed like that, most times it will freeze :)
