I am trying to revive a TSC2 unit after several years of no use. I have had the power boot module charging for close to six hours now, LED on the boot indicates it is charging normally. When I attach the boot to the TSC2 unit it will briefly display the booting screen, followed by the startup Microsoft Windows screen, and them seemingly will power off. Pressing the power button once after this displays the same Microsoft Windows screen again and then the unit will seemingly power off again. Holding down the power button will display the Owner Information screen, continuing to hold down the power button will start the unit reset, but the unit will power down shortly after. I can get the unit to reset by continually pressing and holding down the power button. The unit will power off, then power on with the same amount of time remaining, repeatedly until time runs out and the unit resets. The unit will seemingly reset, display the booting screen, the Microsoft Windows screen, and then power off and the process repeats itself. Curious if the battery is just toast after not being used for so long? Attached it Owner Information window that is displayed in case that helps anybody.

Leave the charger plugged in when you power the TSC2 on. WHat happens with those controllers is that if the battery is connected for a long time with the unit in "OFF" mode, there is still some small discharging going on, even if you put it in deep sleep modus. There is a BMS inside the battery pack and it could shut down the pack if its below a certain voltage level. The other complication that could occur are bad contacts. Try to clean contacts of any grime or stuff that could prevent a good contact. Also, check that all ports are clean, have no dirt or things inside/ bent contacts. Also the CF ports under the black top cover - check those... And humidity, I dont know if you had the Controller put away in a very humid environment. We had to use a Hiperlite once that got humid inside and shut off ( of course at the worst possible place and time, wading a river to get a profile in). And lastly ( should probably the first thing to try): try with another known good battery/TSC2.?ÿ
