Hey, am I glad I found these forums...
I have a Zaurus sl-5500 pda
After a few years of having this PDA, and about 30% of the time the PDA has been able to synch with the computer. It was decent when running windows 98, but after upgrading to XP I have had nothing but problems trying to get this PDA to synch.
Here are a few problems... following the intructions to the T, the computer seems to recognize I plugged something in, but when I install the synching software, bam, finds nothing. Tried updating the rom, nothing, I just simply can't access this PDA in any way shape or form. I've gone through tons of e-mails with tech support, nothing has resolved this issue.
IS there major problems with this PDA and windows xp?
Is there any updated software that I should be using?
Is there a different way to synch besides wireless?
Whats the latest ROM, and where should I get it?
Any chance this PDA has been damaged from the get-go? I am fairly familiar with computers, I have spent Hours with this thing, and I can't get anything to work. Manually with ips, automatically, firewalls, different' computers, etc.
I would love some help.
PS - is the ram violatile? (I think thats how you spell it) where it needs constant power from battery to keep info stored, if so, how is the backup battery charged?
