I think I fried my Zaurus but hooking power to it backwards. Opps. Not sure. Either way, its a brick right now. Guess I should be more careful with those universal power adapters. No lights, full reset does squat.

LogosX told me about this site:

but I don't know have much hope.

Do you think you might open 'er up and look around?

At some point, have to find my jewlers screw drivers.

I have a 5600 which sounded like it could be kinda crispy like you said about yours. So I decided to dig in and found the positive and ground thing on the power plug, took a multimeter to it and it tested out fine. So my Z is getting power for sure so back to the drawing board.
