General Discussion / SL-C860 not charging, please help!!

« on: June 12, 2004, 04:17:37 pm »

I dug the SL-5500 charger out of the closet, connected it... and it worked!
Seems like 5V 1 ampere isn´t good enough for the SL-C860...

And one more thing,  :wink:

Does the charger for the SL-5500 work with the SL-C860?!
Cause I have a charger for the SL-5500, but it is rated at 2 Amperes as opposed to the SL-C860 charger which is rated at 1 Ampere....

Just got my SL-C860, but I have a little problem.

I live in Norway, but my Zaurus comes from Japan, and has a 110V charger.
We have 220V here, and so I had to get a different charger.
I bought one with the same specs as the one that came with the Zaurus, but when I try charging the charge-led of the Zaurus just blinks rapidly.
It doesn\'t seem like the Zaurus is charging either.
It will not run from the AC-adapter only, but when  I flashed it with the Cacko ROM yesterday it didn\'t complain about not being connected to an AC adaptor.

Does any of you know what a flashing charging-led means?

Accessories / SL-C860 USB and GPS question

« on: June 04, 2004, 03:54:46 pm »

Is it possible to connect a standard USB-GPS, like the HaiCom GPS HI-203, to the SL-C860\'s USB port?!

If not, what other options are there?

Advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.
And, sorry for a complicated post. It was written quite late...

What it seems like it boils down to is this:

1) What GPS solutions work. Is there an application that will make car-navigation in mainland Europe easier??
2) Is the Sharp-ROM and ok ROM to use, or should I go for one of the alternatives. I ask because I will not have much time to test this before going on the road in July.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi to everyone.

This is my first posting here

I am a Zaurus user from Norway, and I\'ve been owning some kind of Zaurus since the SL 5000D was released. I am currently using a SL-5500 for some surfing and other not so intensive tasks.

After having tried all sorts of PDAs, from Palm to PocketPC and Sonys in an attempt to find the perfect unit, I ordered an SL-C860 from Japan earlier this week.
My main areas of use for this unit are as follows;

I want to use it for media storage in the field, as a unit to dump pictures on from my camera. The camera supports SD cards.

I would also like to use some kind of mapping application, preferably with GPS capabilities for when I drive around in Europe this summer.

PIM is becoming more and more important at work, and I would like to be able to sync with both Linux (Evolution) and Mac.

Last, but not least, I am dependant on a very compatible browser as the CRM system at work is web-based.

So, I am wondering what programs, and possibly also what ROMs, that will carry out the needed tasks in style...    
Will the Sharp-ROM and the installed apps get the job done, or should I install some of the other ROMs?
Will the Cacko ROM make all apps built for Qtopia useless?

And, finally, does anyone know if there is a car-mounting kit that fits the SL-C860 without taking up the passenger seat of the car...  

Any comments and information you might have is greatly appreciated!
