Attention - It seems that the module needed is not a C09 but a C19 - Speculatrix is inquiring on this. Please do not purchase a C09.


Hello

As I promised long ago, here are some instructions to add bluetooth to your SL6000 Zaurus.

1. Purchase a WML AHR C09 from Segor.de
2. Open your zaurus
3. See the attached picture of a Zaurus without Bluetooth, compared to a Zaurus with Bluetooth
4. Solder the chip accordingly. Note : the long line and the big X are for the antenna. The AHR C09 has an antenna built it, so don't bother.
5. Install bluez, start with:

hciattach /dev/ttyS2 csr 115200
hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
sdpd

This will hopefully start bluetooth and lit the blue led.

Then:
hcitool scan
to try to find your cellphone
sdptool browse cellphone_mac_addres
to find the serial port (usually 1)
rfcomm connect 0 cellphone_mac_address serial_port

this way /dev/rfcomm0 will be your cellphone

6. Enjoy the cool hack, and wait for the next upgrade (921 kbps bluetooth)

If your mate fails and you are in the UK then I'll have a look at it for you. I have never had one in bits as I only just got my first one but I do mend a lot of laptops for local shops, have mended loads of Ipaqs and Palms and I do have the stuff necessary like stereo microscopes and rework stations.

Don't even consider me until you have exhausted all other possibilities and don't expect miracles but cracked boards and components are usually fixable.

Your starting point should be to see if it syncs or if you run SSH can you still connect. The fact that it came on initially, pink then white then nothing doesn't suggest to me damage from being dropped unless the screen broke, what sort of backlight do they have? It sounds like a normal flourescent.

If it is the screen or backlight then unplugging the screen and backlight completely should allow it to boot normally and it may sync or allow SSH then, after removing hte new Bluetooth unit of course.
