Battery problem

[edeab220]

I just sold to my friend my Palm VIIx, and I want to tell him how to fix the battery...but I don't know what's wrong with it.

For some reason the AAA batteries keep on becoming discharged in 4-5 hours...even though it's been OFF the whole time...

Anyone know what's wrong? :confused:

Eee, that certainly sounds like a wiring problem. Sounds like there's an active circuit there somewhere just draining power. Does it get hot or something?

Nope. It just drains...

Any ideas anyone? I'm having him replace the transmitter battery...

a faulty transmitter battery is a common problem, and that would cause that. I had mine replaced back in the day when i owned a VIIx

Hi,
Is there any way to get the transmitter off the Palm VII?
I explain:
I have reacently got my Palm VII and bought a replacement case for a Palm III model. Where I live there is no service for the wireless functions of the Palm VII so I was thinking of getting out the transmitter bulk and put it all together in the Palm III case. ¿Any ideas?

Thanks
