Hi

Could you tell me exactly what keyboard it is, send me the model of the keyboard. Are you planing to use it with the ipaq 3850?

hi thanks for using fixya!

If you want to access the internet thru your ipaq, you should first contact your network service provider to send you the GPRS configuration and settings. From then, you may now enjoy the connectivity of your ipaq.

Regards!

Here's an eBay auction for a the ipaq, cradle and cover, no bids yet.
There are also a number of chargers available. A Google search also returns several vendors for ipaqs and accessories.

Try this - don't give up Leave it charging, even if it takes three days. I sold one a few years ago on ebay and the buyer was insistent it wouldn't charge. Eventually it did start charging and there were no more problems.

I had the same problem with my iPAQ H3800. I bought a replacement battery on eBay for £7.49 and now it's fine.

Is not there a button in the upper right corner? If this is helpful please post as such. TY

I had the same problem, and did a lot of searching. Go to this site:

Download new BIOS for the unit, and follow the instructions very carefully. Depending on what kind of cables/dock you use, you might have to get creative in order to pull it off. It took a few times of trial and error, but now my unit works perfectly. Good luck.

try syncing through bluetooth, there could be a problem with the cradle. i have had an issue very similar to yours and had to do a soft reset on my pda. then set up your device to use a blue tooth connection( you may need to buy a bluetooth dongle for your pc).

you may have to buy a new battery for the unit. Simple as that

Use Active Sync, explorer the folder contents on the device, move to the windows folder, delete the file welcome.exe. Soft reset and should work.

Sometimes you have to end all Active Sync tasks, rapimgr.exe, wescomm.exe and WCESmgr.exe. After you close all these, reopen Active Sync, should then be abel to connect your device and try again.

Set it up with what? Do you mean sync with your computer? Are you using USB or Bluetooth?

Best thing to do.

1. Unplug your USB connection from PPC -> Computer
2. Uninstall Activesync if you have it installed
3. Restart your computer
4. Re-install activesync
5. Restart your PPC
6. When asked to connect the PPC connect it via USB

Hey, when you say red screen does this mean it says compaq on it? If it does then you need to do as follows:
Press the two lower buttons (one is defult set to Calendar shortcut, the other to iTask) and the power button simultaneously while soft reseting the ipaq. It should start up. If not contact me, as I might of got the buttons wrong, at [email protected]
I hope it helps
