I've had iPaqs act funny, acting like the screen had been touched when it
hadn't, starting up programs at random, etc.

First I put in fresh batteries. On the older models this entails opening
the case. The battery is stuck to the inside of the case back and connects
with a short flat cable to the board. One I had to finally resort to a
percussive maintenance procedure that seemed to cure the problem, i.e., a
sharp smack on the back of the base.

If you're using them with a jacket, you may need to also change the battery
in the jacket.

I've had two iPAQ 37xx series go on the blink.
The touch screen goes haywire.
When I try to re align the screen it just goes into a do-loop and never
properly re-sets.
Sometimes it gets better if I keep it turned off for a few weeks, but
that doesn't seem to work now.

Any suggestions?
