my axim x5 doesnt want to start!

[yeuxdechat]

I recently bought an Axim x5 400mhz windows 2003 updates. I bought a foldable keyboard on ebay, installed it and it works perfecly. Then I couldn't start the pda. I removed the battery and put it back; the axim started. After I turned it off I couln' start it again. I did a hard reset and it started ok. But since, the only way I can start it is to do a soft reset at start up. The unit works wonderfully exept for that glitch! Any idea? Thank you.

Remove any cards present and then press and hold Power, scroll in, contacts and reset.

Hold all 4 buttons for 5 seconds and then release power and reset.

Hold contacts and scrool in for approx 10 secons and release.

This will reset the ROM.

I suggest you test the axim without installing the keyboard or drivers first before continuing.

It worked!! Thank you so much for the extra-fast reply!I'll try and instal keyboard now, will let you know how it goes!

It was the keyboard driver. I uninstaled it and installed a different one from the Dell website. All seems to be in good order. For the record, driver R6539.EXE created the problem. R66453.EXE works OK.

I'm glad you are sorted
