C1000/3x00 Hardware / C3100 Dead... :(

« on: December 03, 2007, 05:35:46 pm »

if anyone wants to know: the ctrl+c+d-thing also doesn't work...
maybe it's a sign for me that I shouldn't buy so much hardware (new pc, new laptop, 5.1 soundsys, 2 razer mice, sennheiser headphones, etc pp)...

usually Fat16, which should work
iirc is fat32 od sd or cf not recognised
so your trying from above should work

thanks for the tips
yes, did the d+m thing right (at leas i think so)

and no, it doesn't anything (i think), no hdd led's coming on,
and no power led is coming on if i plug in the ac adapter
for now i'll just wait till tomorrow, hopefully he will come back to life
if not, he will be sold
unfortunately i just can't afford to buy another Z
I'll post tomorrow if he came back

br, Dargor

edit: just one more thing:
did that already happen before?
because the search function didn't resolve anything near that or at least the Fn+D+M-thing worked

i tried it again, still nothing, maybe I should wait a little bit longer...
but I measured the batt connector pins inside the zaurus with ac adapter connected, the values seem to be right
what if I grilled any of the usb parts?
how much would it cost to get it repaired by sharp japan?

pressing the reset for ~5 seconds didn't help
the battery is taken out, i'll try starting it up tomorrow (at least 10 hrs)
should i try 24 hrs if the overnight removal doesn't help?

thanks for that at least

hi there
i think i crushed my zaurus...
here's what hapened:
I bought a mini-a to female-a usb cable
plugged in my mouse: doesn't work
ok, maybe the cable is too long (1.8m)
so i tried an external hdd (3.5" with its own power), but still doesn't work
I tried the same with another adapter form a friend (~10cm) and everything works fine
ok, maybe it is the wrong cable after all
then I tried to connect my Z with my PC with that cable->sreen goes black
I pulled the cable immediately and tried to turn it on-> no response
->maybe the battery? no, the batt LED won't light nor glow when i connect the AC adapter
I also opened my Z, but no signs of anything wrong...

I tried to start with the OP button and with D+M, also woth Fn+D+M, but nothing, it stays dead...

so please, can anyone help me?

TIA

br, Dargor

okay, the last issue was my fault
why the hell I didn't think earlier about transcoding it directly to 640x480/(something that comes near)

Thank you very much anyway, now I'm able to watch my videos on train/bus/whatev (what else should i do /w/o Internet? )

thanks again

How about PocketDivXEncoder?

It just runs (no need to install), so trying it should be painless.

i works just fine, thanks for that

but another issue occured:
"video player" won't play it at all, but thats not too bad, since kino2 is willing to
within kino2, normal playback (320x240) works fine
but in fullscreen mode the screen just stops after ~1/2 sec, sound is continuing

do i need additional packages for that? since i haven't got my wlan card yet, i can't update anything
 (maybe by myself over the cacko feed, but that's an other issue)
maybe i try a bit overclocking, but imho that should not be the way to go

Thanks so far

br, Dargor

Hi

I want to watch my animes on the zaurus, so I tried different things:
windows media encoder (yes, I'm using Windows):
 - sucks, takes me an hour to get to the menu
 - about 5 mins into encoding it crashes

vlc (streaming assistant):
encodes fast, the video plays with kino2, but stops after a few seconds, also no subtitles

I don't think that I'm the only one who wants to watch animes in japanese with Subtitles,
so i hope there's anyone who can help me.

does there exist any simple solution? I don't mind if I must set all the parameters over and over again
I just want to watch.
I know it works best with 320x240, mpeg4v1 video, mp3 ~64kbit audio
so how do i get the subtitles running?
most of the videos are .avi

and yes, I used the search function, but I didn't get something in that direction.

TIA
