Has my Ipaq Died

[Justin-case]

I got home from Spain just over a week ago put my ipaq on the desk

Picked up my Ipaq this morning and it was lifeless, I tried a hard reset and soft reset to no avail.

I have placed this on the cradle to charge it 6 hrs later its still dead I have no lights on what so ever, even the charge light is off.

My firt thoughts where the charger is dead, so I hooked it back up in the car, exactly the same sypmtoms,

Can anyone throw any light on this, Iam familiar with ipaq issues like this but normally a hard reset and a copy of my backup is suffice

Iam a little lost with this one

Try releasing/ removing the battery then put it back in the unit , soft reset and try switching back on both on and off charge, I have known the battery lock switch come undone on my unit (different ipaq) but same type of behaviour - Mike

Thanks Mike

I have tried that and its still lifeless,

This is somewhat concerning

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if the batt was dead, six hours wont be enough time try it over night.

i had one that i let the batt run down and it took a day on charge to start up again.

just for get it for a day, if that dont sort it then its going to be more than a charging problem

if i remember its the cpu that controls the charging but if the batt is dead then the cpu cant turn the charing on to full, but it will slow charge and i mean slow.
