Out of the ordinary failures...

Postby LongRunner » January 27th, 2014, 3:55 am

Remember how I have nothing but trouble with Hellstra and their pathetic internet service??? Well, now there's something a bit more...worrying.

I mentioned a bit about it here. A key difference from the older 3G device is that the AC760S features a lithium-ion battery (as opposed to its predecessor, which could only be powered from a mains-connected supply)...which is where the trouble continues from.

Now the battery in question (model "W-3", rated at 3.7V 2000mAh) is bulging. The internal cells (2 in parallel) bear the model number LP553446ARU, which leads here (sorry, but you haven't exactly built my dreams...:rolleyes:). Also, if it's any indication of what's happened, there's what looks like a tin whisker very close to the monitor board. I still think it's more probable that they're just crap batteries, though. Now the spare battery is installed, but my experience with these units suggests that there's about a 20% chance that it'll happen again. Have any of you seen it???
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.

Nope. I've never had any issues with any Tel$tra 3G devices. I have an older white 3G elite WiFi device. It's a few years old, but the battery seems fine (no bulging, and it still holds a 4 or 5 hours charge).
