My Zaurus Is Dead!
« on: August 20, 2006, 05:35:27 am »
Hi all.
Yesterday I suspend my zaurus. Today it won't turn on.
I tried everything: nand restore, ok menu, nothing work. I only can enter in d+m (d+b don't work).

I don't know what's happend...
I check all the test in d+m, and all seems ok...
I hope someone of you help me. Thanks.

nand restore?

pdaxrom has a suspend issue which makes your z look dead.  I suggest you do a nand restore with an original nand backup from sharp.  Its not bricked buddy!

If you can d+m shouldn't you be able to do a nand restore (from the backup menu)?  What happens when you try?

Now it's turn on!

It's impossible...
I don't made nothing when it don't turn on and nothing now...
I think the reason could be in the lock battery switch...

Ok I think that the problem is that the battery is empty.
Exactly...
Yesterday, before I suspend it was to 70%. Today it was completly empty.
My zaurus turn on by itself.
No alarm, no strange app..
It's the second time that happend.
