I have a Dell axim x50v for three years now.
All of a sudden, I can not switch it on.
Tried soft re-set, no success.
I have been asked to take the battry out and then place the pda inside the charger stand and then switch it on. If it works then it means the battry needs to be replaced with a new one. Otherwise, I will have to do a hard re-set which means everything inside the pds will be lost.
I have a backup which is on my PC. But not sure if that back up has saved all the calender, notes, ect...

Questions:
1) Are these the correct procedures to solve the problem?
2) If I end up doing a hard re-set, then how do I use the backup from PC into the pda?
3) Is there a mobile phone that has the same functionalities and capabilities as my PDA?

Thanks
