Does the PDA still charge from the mains using the same socket as the car charger? If so - then you just need to replace the car charger unit - it sounds as if he electronics decided to give up the ghost. If the ACER isn't charging via another external source through the same connecter then it may have damaged the internal battery charging circuits. This is less likely but worth checking before you buy a replacement. _________________ Phil |
