Microtrack not powering up
« on: May 24, 2009, 05:25:58 PM »
I didn't use this unit for approximately 9 months and I sold it without testing it first (a mistake I won't make again).

The buyer had the unit plugged into the wall charger for a few days and can't get it powered up.  Any suggestions?  Could the internal battery be completely dead and not accepting a charge?  Should the unit be firing up if the battery is bad but it's plugged in?

I have had it take a while to start charging and power up but, never a couple of days.

yes
try unplugging and plugging it in a few times
all you need is a small charge for it to be seen by your comp too - then the comp can charge it the rest of the way
