iPAQ repair

I know this a way off topic, but I have a 4705 that won't boot any
more. Battery is fully charged, I've tried to 'hard reset' it, but it
gets to the initial splash screen and stops. Does anyone repair these
things? I'll use my 2495 if I can't get the 4705 fixed, but the 4705
display IS easier to read.

TIA
Jim

Thanks Chip. I called them and they assured me it's fixable. All it
takes is money!

If you are sending it to pocketpctechs, have the internal battery
replaced as well. The internal battery is specialized, extremely hard
to find. Unfortunately, Pocketpctech has them on backorder and they
are not expecting shipment until April. If your internal battery is
dead, you will continue to experience problems. I myself am going for
the memory upgrade as well. Good luck.

Thanks NB, will do. I'm not in a huge hurry since my HX2495 is setup
up, so that will work for me.

Considering the obvious first, which you certainly have, but the
battery has to be locked for the HP to boot. Did you check if the lock
switch at the bottom of the unit is moved towards the "locked"
position?
I wish it was only that simple

CLOSURE
With the help of those here on RAS who pointed me to a GOOD forum, my
HX4705 is back in service. Thanks to all!
