Sharp ROMs / Lost My Sharp Rom For 5600

« on: July 31, 2009, 09:15:28 am »

After reading some other postings, I pressed format from the maintenance menu which restored the 5600 to it's original Sharp ROM.  So who knew...  in the PC world, format is a dangerous thing.  I then ran the update, and not only is the unit working, but so is my wireless card.

Sharp ROMs / Lost My Sharp Rom For 5600

Unfortunately ROMupdate5.asp states that it's for the 5500 not the 5600.  The ROM from MyZaurus.com states that it "can only be applied to the SL-5600 with ROM version 1.00".

I changed ROMs and now want to go back to the original Sharp ROM for my SL-5600. Problem is - I can't find it! Any idea where I can get it? I'm dead in the water. Not supposed to, but cross posted this to:  Distro Support and Discussion > Sharp ROMs.  Shows you how hard up I am.

5x00 Hardware / Sl-5500 - Won't Power Up

« on: July 27, 2009, 01:14:18 pm »

Strangely enough, I put the battery from the 5500 into the 5600 and it charged properly and ran the 5600.  Put it back in the 5500 and nothing!.

Actually, I think it's C+D+Reset in battery compartment.  Tried it, nothing happened. Note that the charge LED does not light when the unit it plugged in. What is the actual reset - I've also seen C+P+reset.

I let the battery run down and now the 5500 won't power up.  The ac adapter works with my 5600, but no response with the 5500.  I've tried connecting power directly to the unit as well as to the cradle.  The bottom (under side) of the unit does feel warm when plugged in.  What next?

5x00 Hardware / Sl-5600 Wireless Card Problem

« on: May 22, 2009, 02:45:03 pm »

I have a wireless CF card that came with a 5600.  There's no manufacturer name but is labeled Wireless LAN 11Mbps CF Card on front and Model WL-672. Looking at Google, it might be a Sparklan or Gemtek.  It powers up but doesn't connect on the 5600 but does on the 5500.  Both units running Sharp Roms: 1.32 on the 5600 and 3.10  on the 5500. Where do I go from here?

I have a 5500 & 5600 (both off of ebay).  When I insert a wireless card into the 5600 (Sharp ROM 1.32), I can find wireless networks (using Kermit) but don't see any way to connect to any of them.  When the card is inserted into the 5500 (Sharp ROM 3.10), I get a connection icon in the tray, and a connect dialog in Opera.  The previous owner of the 5600 claims to have used the card, but he did have a different ROM (Zynergy) installed.

« on: April 10, 2006, 02:54:31 pm »

When trying USB TCP/IP in zaurus manager, I get "ensure zaurus and docking station are connected to your pc"

on the zaurus under pc-link, I only have hostname and usb ip address as well as connection dropdown (usb-i/o, usb-tcp/ip, serial).  Do not have subnet or gateway settings.

I can still ping the zaurus as you can see below:

Like many others, got a SL-5500 on ebay.  Unit seems to work fine except for syncing w/Windows XP.

Unit has 3.10 ROM and I've installed Qtopia Desktop 1.5 on my computer.

I can ping the Zaurus.

Any help would be appreciated as well as recommendations re: proper versions of ROM and Qtopia.

Thanks...
