Replacing Battery Cover
The HP iPAQ battery cover is an integral part of the device, and you must be careful when removing and installing it. There are “hooks” on the inside of the battery cover, and they serve two purposes. They:
•Secure the battery cover onto your device.
•Activate the battery.
WARNING! Failure to insert your battery cover on your HP iPAQ using the HP recommended steps can damage the battery cover, which will cause your unit to have power and charging failure.
Some of the symptoms of broken hooks can include:
•The red LED remains red and does not turn yellow while the unit is attached to AC power.
•Your device fails to power on when the power button is pressed.
