HP iPAQ H4150 Pocket PC

Make sure that your device supports the Wifi encryption you are using. As an example, the H4150 only supports 64 or 128 bit WEP encryption.

Your HP IPAQ has a SDIO expansions slot...

which is a new technology.

so will have to use an SDIO card ...
this is a secure digital IO card.
hope this will solve the problem

Have you tried tapping the windows icon and then tapping ipaq wireless then making sure wlan is enabled? Does the top left light flash green?

You will need to ensure that the Wireless Security settings on your router are set to at least 802.11 b/g and not just 802.11g, as the h4150 is a 802.11b device.

There is also a ROM update to 1.10 and a WLAN driver update to 2.0.53A available from HP as well for this device. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=349044&prodTypeId=215348&prodSeriesId=349042&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1087

Is it under warranty?

If you have tryed the full reset / hardreset.

and still the device doesn't give out any signs of life, I suspect there is a fault in the mainboard how are the battery connections? all good?

theres a motherboard replacement service available

But if you have warranty then send it in for warranty repairs.

Have you used a Vista PC as the host machine? ROM updates can only be done from a Win XP or 2000.

Hook the iPaq to an Win XP or 2k PC, install active sync first, and then get the ROM update again. Run the Rom Update Utility and it will recognise the iPaq and will update it correctly. :)

New firmware, if available, can be found on the hp.com site.
Then again HP has never been good at taking care of their customers so you may find that there is no new firmware at all.

thanks for the post. the first thing is to install the ipac software and try see if the syetm can sysnc. when properly configured there should be an ipac icon in my computer, open this folderand other sub folders will be visible,if you have an SD card media in this device it will be visibleas well. try copy the music of your choice from the system into the music folder or your sd card depending on your pref.

Hey, what you need to to do is download an application called Activesync. It will open up as soon as you plug in your ipaq and I bet you the rest will be history. It worked for me.

connect the usb cable to the pocket pc. then, with pc on, plug the opposite end to the pc usb port. then, open My Computer" icon on desktop and then find the drive letter associated with the pocket pc. for example, if your pc has only one hard drive and one cd-rom drive, then your pocket pc letter will be e:. double-click e drive and verify your pocket pc. then mouse-drag any files from outlook folder into the e: drive. they will be copied, by default. the originals will still be on the pc.
