G5 problem

[firebell9137]

Powered 3 lights on. Tried 2 different newish batteries and tested them in my voltage tester. All were good. I took the batteries out and it still does this when i put them back on the charger and powered it on. Even does it powered off. Hardware issue or battery issue? Screen doesnt come on at all. Any help would be great. I dont wanna buy a new battery if that isnt the problem or replace the g5 as it's out of warranty.

Try a three button reset:
1. Turn pager on.
2. Hold the Reset/Squelch button (side) + voice record button (side) + message play button (atop knob selector dial).
3. Wait for all three LEDs on unit to light up. Release all buttons.
4. Done. Pager should re-boot normally. If you get an error message on screen, share it here. Or send to your dealer or Uni support. (support@unication.com) to interpret the error code.

This has happened to me before, was a corrupted part of memory holding the Linux kernel. Had to send to Uni to be re-flashed. Thankfully I was under warranty. Do not know out of warranty cost for this repair.

Try a different power cord. I dont know if voltage only is a reliable test.

I did. It's the pager.

That's exactly how mine behaved. After battery pull. Different battery. Three-button reset. Solution was to send in. Uni told me there wasn't anything else to try. Said it's a corrupted part of the memory that a normal firmware update doesn't touch. Specifically, the linux section.
