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

There are some that work well without the touch screen and some that don't.
Right now I am trying to decide what I want to do.
If I go to the time and expense of replacing the digitizer I am afraid it iether won't solve my problem or will cause others.
Maybe I should just buy another PDA.

I see what you mean. But first, before that expense, are you sure there aren't other apps that would take the place of the ones that you need which require the touch screen?

Which ones are essential that don't work? We may know of suitable substitutes...unless you need handwriting recognition or sketching ability, or the games.

If you get another PDA, if you can get one that will open up tar files on SD or CF, then you could at least transfer some non-proprietary data to the new machine.

I guess whatever you end up doing will still be a lot of work. :-(
