My life has turn upside down
Sheesh.... here's a lesson to all not to stress test your hardware. Must be all the China fellows doing mass production touting 'fast, efficient delivery of any amount you want' lah. My Palm is quitting on me =....( *sob sob*. My beautiful, sleek, friendly m515.
It all started when I got itchy hands and did a soft reset. Those of you who use Palm would know that the reset button is a recessed little pin hole which you need to stick something in to trigger the reset. Well, there I was feeling itchy and I went and soft reset my Palm. Well whadaya know, it then stopped working. The screen was blank and the power button was all lighted up. Nothing I pressed or did worked. Then I tried putting it in the charger and as soon as it was powered up, the power button light extinguished. I was scratching my head like mad trying to figure out why. Finally I gave up and searched online for solutions.
Turns out it could be due to some issues with the USB charging circuitry which may be shorted. The only way to do fix this is to disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Since I did not have the necessary tools, I had to do it the slow way..... wait till the power runs out. =p Three whole days I was without my trusty sidekick, had to depend on my buddy just to wake me up for work. Sheesh!
Subsequently I got it back up and running again. Then I very pandai (Malay - clever) and tried to open a copy of Microsoft Patterns & Practices: Architecture & Design Guide and then my Palm hung... again.
Well, for now my Palm is up and running however I'm not sure how long it might last. I'm hoping it will last me until end of this year at least, then I can look towards an alternative. I was thinking about the Zire72 which looks awesome especially the 'special' edition which comes in silver. ;-) Then my friend keep on pestering me and telling me all the virtues of a Windows Mobile device and I did not have a single point to rebutt! Anyhow I went to have a look (seriously, at first it was a look only =p) and I saw.........Dell Axim 50v, VGA resolution, 624MHz Intel Xscale... man was I hooked.
Well, got to go already, another on the Axim then. =D
