for atty and pepper, and anybody else interested in helping with research
i have not heard back from the seller but here goes
i bought a 'new' verizon mifi 2200 from ebay. i imagine that was leftover stock bought as surplus. right to begin with i had a red-flashing light (critically-low battery) within an hour or two of usage. i contacted the seller and got a replacement - same issue.
as per my research i eliminated the charger cable first. bought an oem charger on amazon; that did not solve the problem. next step - bought 3 oem batteries on ebay. got the green light for a bit then back to red flashing, lol.
next step taken - bought uoc charger on ebay which allows me to charge the batteries out of the device. now i was able to connect to the verizon diagnostics page and, lo and behold, the mifi is running solely off the batteries when plugged into a wall outlet. this is NOT the way it's supposed to act. i have not been able to find anything on the web as to what might be a solution. i do not want to do a factory reset atm - waiting on seller's response. it sure would be nice to see if other people had this problem and if it can be cured.
i found some hints as to 'inter-polarity' - hope i remember this right - but have no idea what it means .......... sigh
any ideas?????????? thanks!
