I did as exactly as you said I.e. make sure it would work when disconnecting
and turning it on and off. then a morning later, I'd switch it on and checking
that it had not come on before by going in to settings. for the past two weeks,
it would not come on. Before that, probally for three weeks, it worked solidly.
So I can't understand why it just stopped for no reason as I'd use it straight
away after it had charged as it was left on charge over night. and I had made
sure that the glow was off when charging as I'd check in my settings. So I
don't know why it just stopped. So today was the last straw as I was going to
use it with a couple of GPS Apps as I mentioned on another list that I was
having trouble with it, Peter you would have seen my message last Friday when I
was doing some battery testing on another list. That night, I put it on charge
again and didn't take it off charge until the end of the evening, and put it on
to see if it worked. it did. So I put it in a draw with it off. I made sure it
was off when I left home and when I put it on holding the button down for six
seconds, the receiver would not come on again. So it makes me think the
receiver was faulty. I will get a refund for now and think again later on if I
want one.
