5500 Error - Will No Longer Calibrate? Options

[victorhooi]

heya,

I just dug my Z-5500 out of storage after a long hiatus, and flashed it with Qtopia 2.1.2.

Upon starting up, I tapped the screen once to start the setup, then went through the calibration procedure. However, no matter how many times I performed calibration, it simply repeated all over again.

Thinking it was a problem with the ROM, I flashed it again with OZ 3.5.4 as well, with the same result (calibration kept on looping).

This is a very strange error, but hopefully the machine is usable somehow - any suggestions?

Thanks,
Victor

Mine is doing the same thing. Looping through the calibration screens. I however have been using only the Sharp ROM.
Anyone have an idea what is going on here?

Thanks
Jon

Jon,

I don't know why it won't calibrate, but am wondering if your internal memory is full and renderng your Z incapable of registering any new settings?

If your console works, do a 'df' to see how many bytes are left. The System Info tab tells you there's no space left long before it's 100% full, and df is more informative.

I would look for corrupt files that may have gotten oversized. Any memory of what you last did before the problem?

Look in /tmp/ and what ever directories you might have just worked with.

The two things that most frequently whack out my space are tkcMail indices that can get corrupted during a crash, and elvis temp files in /tmp/elv___.

Also, strange things happen if the Zaurus overheats...if it feels hot, put a cold pack on it.
:-)

Victor, I don't know OZ at all. If you just flashed it, memory shouldn't be full unless something is corrupt.

Will your collies work okay otherwise, except for calibration, like if you tap on a big GUI, will it open an app?
