H10 only charges with hard reset
I don't know what happened to my H10 user manual, so I'm not sure if this is how the H10 is designed, but it doesn't seem like it is. For as long as I can remember, the only way my H10 will charge is if I poke the reset hole with a pin of some sort and then plug it into the wall charger. If I just plug it in after turning it off, it doesn't charge. I can play it fine while it's charged in and from USB, and when fully charged the battery has a normal life, but it's annoying having to hard-reset every time I want to charge it. I'm not the best aimer, so the area around the hole is getting scratched up, and I've had enough problems with rockbox to not want to switch to that, even though the auto-hard-reset is nice.
Anyone else have this problem? |

Nobody else has experienced this, eh? I'm wondering if it has to do with installing/uninstalling Rockbox too many times, or if a different firmware version would make a difference. I've had 2.51 for a while now, and I can't remember if the problem started when I upgraded.

UPDATE: Alright, so I've discovered something new, which leads me to a question that I'm hoping someone can take a guess at.
I ran the H10 down to one line on the battery meter. I plugged it in without hard-resetting first, and let it charge until the light went off. I turned it on, and it still displayed one bar on the battery meter. I went to another song, hoping going off the screen and coming back to it would refresh the meter graphic. Nope, still one line. So I pushed the ol' reset hole, turned it on, and whadda-ya-know, full battery meter. My question is, do you think the H10 actually believes there's one bar left if there's only one displayed, or is it just a graphical thing? I mean, I'm going to test it out and see if it only gives me like an hour of juice before it turns off or not, but this is just weird and I felt like discussing it. |
