Problems charging n610c

[barbaloot]

All the sudden my Clie won't charge. When I plug it in, with the AC cord or in the cradle it doesn't show it as plugged in. Anyone else have this problem? How do you fix it?

Yes. Once in a while my N760 does that. All I need to do is to clean the 13 pins at the bottom of the Clie.

I have been fortunate not to experience this problem. I recommend using a pencil eraser to clean the contacts. It works very well and leaves them shiny.

I've had this problem occasionally with my N760C... Not nice after you've spent a whole day playing MP3's, and put it on the cradle overnight, only to discover the next day that you're still at 40%! Two things I have tried myself are as following:
When you put it on the cradle, try pressing the Clie slightly downward on the cradle to ensure complete contact. Make sure the LED on the cradle is lit and the battery indicator tells you that you are charging.

Another thing, if all else fails, is to plug your Clie in directly to the Travel Charger. Usually, the Travel Charger plugs into the back of the cradle, but try plugging it directly into the Clie. Unfortunately, the N and S-Series connector is pretty lousy, and having it plug in to the back of the cradle gives it two points, not just one, at which it can fail.
