iPAQ Dead. Ideas?
My iPAQ hx4700 is quite dead this evening. Either it is comprehensively broken or just lacking in power but either way I can't revive it. I don't see why there would be a power issue as the main battery was over 50% when I last switched it on three days ago. However, both soft and hard reset have no effect. I don't have the mains charger with me, only USB and this fails to give any indication of starting/charging the device. I'm out of ideas :-(.

Well fortunately, I managed to find someone (in Fiji, who just happens to work for HP) with one of the new smart phones and a compatible charger and all is now looking quite well.
My hx4700 did come on once in a while when connected to the USB port but never for long enough for me to get it to charge through USB (not the default setting).
