General Discussion / Zaurus WAS Bricked, Now solved!

« on: April 06, 2004, 07:55:38 pm »

I have been fighting the issue all week -weekend and up to today.. when I dug out an old-ish opei rom and that installed, just as if it had been waiting for me.POn;y probem I have now id the background pic looks like something from a figure skateing test book, AND I am having problems installing some of my TKC ( for 760 mind) programs to install... Now I ugess I just go dig out some opie ops for multimedia ( oggs included ) as well as a video player.. and no doubt I\'ll be able to dig up lots and lots of games for it...

So , don\'t despair, sooner or later you will find a way to get a rom installed... Just keep trying different ones

Linux Applications / my 760 has no OS, apparently, and this is how much lick I\'ve

Try whipping the battery out for a few (6?) seconds, then plug back in and switch back on (hardware button), see if it works then.

ack... now I have a flashing sharp \"wait\" sign.. and some more blinking at bottom of screen.
At least part of the problem seeded to be an error in the rom, as a new one was released today... but I still don\'t have a useable Zaurus,,
grrrrr!

ugh... after attempting twice to update my 760 w/ the tkc roms, and getting nowhere .. I tried both of cacko\'s updates, and well, I must have screwed *something* up, or I should be at least able to login.. right? The one frm the pdaxrom leaves me w/ a screen that has that accross the top of teh screen, but there was no calibration screen, and although a curser is blinking, I can type nada...
then I went back to an older one that was lying about on my HD, and that also doesn\'t give me a screen for calibrating nor will it accept anything typed.. so I\'m left w/ a bright shiny 760 that is useless... and no I didn\'t install anything other than the three files that unpack, nothing else  is mentioned in the readme to at least get me to a login and eventually via startx a desktop

HEEEEEEEEEELP!!
