[SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox radio : battery

[GeoffJH]

hi all.
Can you help please?...the Logitech support don't seem able to!

My radio is about 4 years old, but when I switched on the other day i
got a message " charge battery" even though it was plugged into the
mains......does this just mean the battery is dead or????

times, waiting each time to hear the beep which indicates that charging
is taking place. This is assuming the power supply is OK.

Know what? I don't think this is a connector problem at all, I think
this is a power sensing circuit problem. I've noted that if I plug the
thing in while running on battery it doesn't detect, like many others
have said. You can either keep re-plugging it and sometimes it will
catch or you can actually switch the mains end off and on to trigger it.
Or, in my experience, just leave it connected and it will get it
eventually..

on and off.

in and walked away. Came back 20 minutes later it was charging fine.

I have found that as a last resort, unplug the battery. Wait a few
seconds before plugging it back in. This seems to fix the issue (at
least for a time before you need to do it again).
:rolleyes:

I should have added, unplug from power lead first, and after unscrewing
the battery cover, gently pull on the white ribbon type cable plug not
the wires themselves. Then after a short time, plug back in.
This always fixes the issue for me.
