jakeowen Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hey everyone, I bought a Sharp 821 off Ebay about two years ago. I had to get it fixed, I don't remember what it was. Anyway, it came without any accessories, or the battery. I bought generic replacements. I have been using the power adapter from my old broken mt15, which is almost the same specs. The mt 15 adapter is 7.5 watts, and the manual for the 821 says it is 7W. The indicator light says its charging, but the battery is dead. Anyone have any idea why the battery will not charge? Thanks, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Um... by using the wrong adapter, it's very likely that you severely overcharged your battery and now it has just become useless. Make sure you use the correct AC adapter for your unit, or better yet get one of those Sony gumstick battery chargers (BC-7HT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
