Sansa e280 Battery Charging Probs

(1/2) > >>

Grunter:
Hello,
Ive been loving rockbox, but I have had the problem I cannot charge the battery in any shape way or form. Ive tried car charger, Ive tried computer and Ive tried the wall charger as well. The batter indicator does say charging but beyond that nothing.

I have installed rockbox 3.1 but I read the batter option wasnt added till weeks later? Do I have to install that manualy? Any help is greatly appretiated!
Thanks in advance

Just use the original firmware for charging if you use rb 3.1 to do that press |<< after you have inserted the usb cable. this is documented in the manual so read that first.

You have to install a build with charging, yes.  Update.

After the one use (before the post) I have not been able to get it to charge in Original os or rockbox, Ive reinstalled 3.1 and bootloader 5.

Before I updated to 5 I could see the rockbox screen when connected to usb, and defenetly always when connecting to the wall power cable.
Now both times it only goes to the original firmware and doesnt charge the battery, any ideas?
Thanks

3.1 doesn't have charging, so you need to install a newer build if you want to charge in rockbox.  Try todays build, or any from the last few months.
