5x00 Hardware / Zaurus 5500 bricked

« on: June 25, 2004, 07:54:31 am »

My 5500 is doing something similar.   If I leave it sit, plugged in or not, overnight or even a couple of hours, It will not turn back on.    At this point, I can do a hard reset, then I have to flash it to get it to boot again.  This started happening after one of my ferrets tugged on the cord, and the unit hit the floor from about 3 feet up.  Could the internal battery be toast, or could there be a wire loose or fuse blown or something.  I'm kind of afraid to open the unit for fear I will destroy it completely.

I\'m using nothing but defaults, no encryption or anything.
All my other wireless devices worked out of the box, no problem.

I\'ve used the firmware that it recommends, and have upgraded again since.  No dice either way.

Yeah, my router firmware is the newest.  I found the info about the compatibilit issues through a pocket pc site, and Ambicom acknowledges the problem, and says to upgrade your firwmare.  I\'ve tried all the different 5500 roms, and it will not work on any of them. I\'ve tried manual and automatic settings for everything, and every combination.
Consider yourself lucky that it works for you.

Is your wireless router a Linksys?  There is a known incompatibility between the Ambicom card and certain Linksys routers.  I am stuck with one too, and have no way to get it to work without rebooting the zaurus and unplugging the router and plugging it back in.
It\'s a pain in the ass.
Right now my z isn\'t even working for me, so I\'m screwed all around.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ and Ambicom card?

« on: December 22, 2003, 10:51:05 pm »

I may be an idiot, but for some reason i cannot get my Ambicom card to work. I have OZ 3.3.3 installed. The card is detected, but just flashes and nothing ever works. I have tried DHCP, i have tried static, i have tried all the manual setting in the network settings. Is there something I am missing? I have tried 3.3.5 also and it didn\'t work for that.
