IRAM Users: Check your battery..

[SuperNaruto]

With all the issues with battery operated items.. I thought I check mine.. I got multiple IRAMs, one unit stop charing.. I pull the card out, check the battery button, the thing doesn't light up.. the other 3 unit works fine.. full battery..

Mine was made 0607 - 7th week of 2006.. so I figure ill try to get a new battery or if they buy a backup battery for the unit.... last thing you guys want to do is lose your data.. I ghost mine before I shutdown so I did not lose anything..

My I-Ram battery bursted open!

I heard a loud pop one day and had no clue what it was. A month or so later I opened my case because I wanted to sell my I-Ram and the battery had seperated in two. Well it was still attached but half was pushed up super far and was attached by melted metal.

That I-Ram gets really hot. I think it just heated up the case and everything way to much. And it was to hot for the battery. Or maybe something else was wrong I dont know. But I really dont miss the thing. And I can't believe how much the temperatures dropped without it.
