Broken IHP-140 ?
LinusN:
I suggest you try a new battery.
unkle:
I'll grab a new battery. Still checking what my best options are...
petur:
CameronSino is a good brand, not too expensive. Get them on ebay
Multiplex:
There is (used to be) good information on iRiver H100 and H300 battery changing over on Mistic River http://www.misticriver.net but if you've taken your player apart and soldered the wires you probably know most of it already.
The vital information is that you can use the same battery as an iPod, 2nd Gen I think - you should check this
forum search seems to be down right now but I found this link via Gogle http://www.misticriver.net/wiki/index.php/Battery
But you MUST change the polarity of the wires in the plug (it's the same plug but the wires are the other way round)
unkle:
Thanks LinusN, petur and all.
I am checking for a CameronSino on ebay, will update you when it is (or not :-\) repaired. Does it requires reversing polarity ?
Just replied while I was writing:
Multiplex, thanks for the info. I know about mysticriver ;). I do not know if getting an Ipod Gen2 battery is easier. Plus the polarity reversal sounds chilling. Screwing up means dead IHP... Anyway I do have the info, which is good as always.
In all case I am surprised that I cannot boot the player while charging. That would have made my day better (knowing I am on the right track).
Rockbox fans, you rock !!
I'll check here later if I need another player (I wish not, for sure) ::)
