General Discussion / frustrated.....

help!

wat does it mean when you reboot your sl-5500 and the screen just goes grainy (which deteriorates after time) and the green \'e-mail\' led comes on solid?

the only way i seem to able to get round this is to flick switch on the back to \'replace battery\' and then take the battery out...

only problem is - this resets the z back to factory (no i havent hit the \'full reset\' button).

p.s. the reboot is after i have tried to install gaim and all the associated libraries etc.  (i have just bought a new wireless card in it.  it does this with or without the wireless card installed.  the wireless card works perfectly otherwise).

frustrated!

Windows Issues / syncing sl-5500 (rom 3.10) with windows xp.

righty, i managed to get a z in the end.

just installed the intellisync software so i can sync with outlook - then as it instructed - let it install the usb drivers n stuff.

i have setup intellisync to do everything bar email.

now, i havent setup the \"network\" in the z cus i presumed this was for if you have a cf lan card or wireless card.

if i go to the pc link program on the z it is set to use usb - i/o (default) and greyed out at the top it has hostname / ip address.

now from my pc - (i havent changed the network connection that installing the z creates - thus it has no ip address) i can \"ping\" the greyed out ip address off the z...

if i give the network connection on my pc that the z created an up address in the same subnet as the z\'s default one i can stll \"ping\" it.

in the intellisync software the communications are set to usb and the ip address is correct.

now heres the problem - if i use the \"sync\" from intellisync from my pc, nowt happens - just says place the z in the cradle and press ok.  goes greyed out about 10 secs later it comes back sayin place in cradle and press ok.

if i use the sync start on the z in the pc link bit - it comes up with a communication screen with a cancel button on it.  left it on there for over 2 mins - nuthing.

if i press the sync button on the cradle, same screen comes up - but nothing happens!

have i missed summin somewhere?  cheers.

5x00 General discussions / want to purchase a zaurus in the uk

« on: October 31, 2003, 09:56:35 am »

hey.

a few friends have had zaurus\'s (zaurii?!?) for quite a while now and i finally wanna make the \"investment\".

had a play on a 5500 and its perfect for what i need.

expansys.com appear to be selling sharp recon ones from the states...

but there selling them in the uk - would these work cus of the power difference?

i think one of my mates eventually (thru ebay) came from singapore...

would you buy a \"recon\" unit?  (brand new, never used apparently - with a 30 day rtb warranty)

cheers.
