I drowned my Hero way back in July. A sad day. I dried him out and sadly no response.
My daughter suggested a new battery. That worked. However when the battery ran out my Hero would not recharge. After being told by an big repair company that he was
BER I asked that he be returned to me. He duly was returned on payment of £12.00.
I took him to my
"little phone man" in my local town. He tested my phone with a new battery again and yes it worked with no loss of any features. I bought an external Hero phone battery charger with two spare batteries and now I am all set to live in Harmony with my Hero! It is a nuisance changing batteries when they run down but the upside is that I never have to leave my Hero at home because I have not charged him....I can always have a spare battery in my purse.
A happy ending to my sad tale.
