Review: Book Digital Co. SmartBook G138 (Flashback)

Ahha its really nice, anyone know where can buy it?? (i'm from Hong Kong)

bunbunbunjo, C:Amie is selling it in the hpcBay forum. Hurry before they're all sold tho.

hmm again in reply to this,
i got 8.420-8.460 when fully charged but still on the charger.. and 0 mA. it's certain it (mA info) just shows info about the flow of the battery current. 8.265-8.272 volts when off charger while it still reported 100% charge. it is about OK..

Thanks cmonex, mine looks resonable then. I'm going to try a few discharge/recharge cycles to see if that gets Windows CE to go up to 100%.

Now the battery will only charge up to 79%... Any advice?

do not deep discharge it, that might make it worse!

I took it down to 30% then recharged it. Wonder whats causing it?

hope it isn't dying!!
but you can replace the cells with standard 18650's

Yes you can replace them but I haven't done mine yet. I do have the batteries and will take the old ones out (see page 5 for pics) and see what happens.

I really hope the batteries are not dead (dying). I'm going to try and use it normally for a few days, see if that remedies them.

Incidentally, does anyone know how to get a signal strength reading while GPRS is connected? (the little icon will only show the signal strength when the module is on, but not connected).

No it is the sign of going down.

Wait one minute

Wait! My computer went dead while I was away and I lost everything!

I was down to 57% on battery life before I left to go away after repeated recharging .

I recharged this morning and went to check on it and it now says 79%! Yes!!!!!
