General Discussion / Lost My Touchscreen

« on: November 21, 2005, 11:56:36 pm »

so what did you have to do to the vnc server to get  the touchscreen back.. my touchscreen is unresposive, i'm getting good at navigating with the keyboard.... i haven't wanted to reload the ROM to see if that would fix it.

thanks

Fixed it. It was the vnc server.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / C3100 Touch Screen Stopped Working

« on: November 08, 2005, 10:31:51 pm »

i picked up a C3100 in Japan a couple of months ago. yesterday, the touch screen stopped responding to any input. at first, I thought the whole system was locked up, but then realized that the side buttons and scroll wheel still worked.

it sounds like a hardware problem, but could it be a software issue somehow?

anyone have any experience getting a Z repaired.

thanks

i was in Tokyo at the end of July. when i asked the locals for the best plave to get a zaurus, they said mail order.so i had one someone order it with overnight delivery. even with paying the japanese taxes, it was about $100 cheaper mail order than buying in the Akihabara.

Accessories / Sl-c3100 Battery And Pc Cable

« on: August 18, 2005, 11:11:02 pm »

Thanks for the reply. A portable linux workstation is what I'm looking for... But, I'm still unclear about USB cables. If I want to connect to my laptop via USB, I'm fine with the stock cable. But, if I want to use a USB keyboard, or a powered portable HD, I need a different 'host' cable? Is that correct? Is that what mini-A is, vs. mini-B? What if I want to connect to an ethernet or USB hub?

I have some USB cables I got with my camera and Rio. Blurry pictures are attached. A U$40 price I've seen for cables seems like highway robbery to me, but I want to be able to use the Zarus effectively.

to connect a usb peripheral, you need a different cable.

you can get one for $10 from StreamineCPUs. it took me less than a week to get one from them a couple of weeks ago. i got my wireess card from them as well. i cannot tell from your photos whether one of your existing cables would work, but probably not. you would at least need an adapter...

Accessories / Sl-c3100 Battery And Pc Cable

« on: August 17, 2005, 11:01:24 pm »

My first question is, to what port does the included PC to Zaurus cable connect to? Is it serial, or USB or what?

Second, I want an extra battery in case the first one dies. I see there are two different batteries, the stock battery and a larger capacity model, but I see battery covers...!??? If I get the larger capacity battery, do I need a different battery cover? Is this battery larger? Does it make the unit unbalanced in my hand? Is the capacity that much more?

The C3100 comes with an USB on-the-go cable that connects the zaurus to your PC. it can connect  as a USB drive or you can connect in sync/pc link mode.....

the case is sized for the larger battery, so the smaller one should just fit inside...

i use a wireless card to connect, it seems much easier than going through the USB cable...

with the stock battery, i've only run the battery down to half-way, even after using the wireless for well over 3 hours.

I bought a spare battery, but haven't ever needed it yet.

I went to Japan to get my C3100.

Now my only problem is I am stuck with a wfc54g card i can't use.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=92078\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

hopefully, there is a way to use thee wcf54g card with the proper configuration, but i don't think it's supported out of the box. you might try just adding it to the wg-lan.conf file and hope for the best.
