Had the same problem. Did some research and fixed the problem by performing a "soft reset". Tap the reset indentation on the back once quickly. Do NOT hold it in or you will lose all saved data. Mine's working fine now.

its your inbuilt battery that needs charging first. Give it time to complete and your main battery will get charged.

try a hard reset
Dell Axim x50 / x50v / x51 / x51v:
Make sure the device is on before performing hard reset. To hard reset, press and hold the power button and press in on the reset button (reset hole) on the back of the unit for about 2-3 seconds. Release both buttons and you will see a confirmation screen asking you if you would like to clear all data in memory. To do so press the Contacts button. To cancel press the Mail button.
IT may be that the mainboard is faulty and would need to be replaced.

As other users said the cleaning took care of the issues. So I took their suggestions because nothing to lose. I took it apart. It is very easy. Just remove 3 crews at the bottom. It has one snap-in hook at one of the corners but easy to separate it. Then I removed the metal part (aluminum die-casted, silver color) from the PCB. It is easy to remove, just remove 6 screws (I think it is 6) then pull the thing out. Inside the aluminum die-cast part is dirty. If you clean inside with Q-tip, you can see the nasty stuff comes off. I think what happens is that the nasty dust comes off then stick on the sensing elements, which might have caused false signal. Also I cleaned tiny elements inside the metal piece with Q-tip. Now it seems working normal. Hope it stays normal. Give it a try if your unit does not act normal. Better than spending $$. Good luck!
