Hi.
I received yesterday my z50 (from ebay).
I plugged the ac (with a li-ion battery) and let the battery charge.
after 30 mins, the battery led was green (before was amber) and I try
to turn it on. It works, but after few mins wince tell me that the
battery was too low. ok.
no problem. let it charge, but... the led is never more amber, ever
green. also with the extended battery (never used and charged)...
I try let the battery charge for one night. nothing. same problem.
the only way to use the z50 is with the AA pack (apropos: can I use
rechargeable AA?).

then, the z50 don't turn it in in this cases:
- AC plugged without battery
- only battery plugged (I tried with the normal and the extended)
- AC and battery (normal and extended).

I've made some tests:
- soft reset. nothing changes.
- hard reset. nothing changes.
- with ac and battery, I tried to remove backup battery and turn it
on. sometimes it turn on for 3 seconds (showing me POST screen),
notification led flashes and then the z5o turn off. I tried another
time to turn it on, but nothing.
I insert the backup battery and try to turn it on. nothing.

When I try this last test after some minutes, the behavoiur is the same.
I can't see ever more the amber LED !! :(
I want the Z for what_the_hack...

some suggestions/help/beautiful words?
thanks
