General Discussion / SL-5500 bricked:-(

« on: July 27, 2005, 08:08:15 am »

Exactly the same situation here. Tried every suggested things. It would be extremely inconvenient for me to send the unit to Sharp because I bought it second hand, no idea where he got it from in the first place, and also because Sharp doesn't support this product in New Zealand.

I think I won't see my SL-5500 alive again....

Sharp ROMs / Qtopia Rom 2.1.1

« on: May 21, 2005, 05:08:15 am »

Just tried Qtopia ROM 2.1.1 beta on my 5500. Unfortunately, after flashing, it would not turn on again. I followed the instruction, even tried flashing it again, still can not turn on.  
I don't have a CF card reader, I'll have to find one before I can put any other ROM back. Just wondering if anyone's having similar experience? What should I do now?

Software / Pinned Paper Icon In Calendar?

« on: February 15, 2005, 01:16:44 am »

Sorry it might sound stupid, but I really have no idea what that "pinned paper" icon on some of the days in Calendar stand for? I think that icon only appears under month view mode.

Windows Issues / Sync problems: Win2K, Qtopia desktop, SL-5500

Ok, after searching deeper into the forum, I've managed to find this:
https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...wtopic=5982&hl=

But the steps described here involves too many things, I simply change the driver by going to Device Manager > USB Controller > SL (Series) WDM, and change the driver by browsing to the newly downloaded installation CD files (you can find the file in the link above), select the driver in USBDriver (slz1unic.inf, the WDM driver).
Change PCLink on Zaurus to USB-IO, then happy syncing

Windows Issues / Sync problems: Win2K, Qtopia desktop, SL-5500

Exactly the same problem here too (SL-5500).
Followed the instructions, read all the FAQs, still no solution.
I can ping from both side successfully but I can't sync. Zaurus PC Link has been set to USB-TCP/IP, 192.168.129.201
As soon as I plug Zaurus into the cradle, a network device is recognised and assigned an IP of 192.168.129.1
Pinging from Zaurus and PC works, but when I set the Zaurus Manager to USB-TCP/IP, I get the message "Ensure the Zaurus and docking statation are connected to your PC".

I'm using Sharp ROM 3.10.

Could somebody kindly provide me a solution or should this problem been answered somewhere deep in the forum, please point me to the right direction, I tried searching but I've found nothing really helpful so far.

Thanks.
