You do not install Windows CE, it is built into the Cassiopeia. What the CD is is the software for your computer to interact with the Cassiopeia.

You will want http://www.hpcfactor.com/ftp-root/software/microsoft/activesync/activesync-38/MSASYNC.EXE

Be-300 is not the standard Win CE 3.0 It requires PCConnect software for communication. Download it from the following link. http://casio.monacocorp.co.nz/cassiopeia/

That is a good question. But I'd go ahead and change the battery.

leave the backup battery in the PDA and bring it back to life with this how to ;)

if that doesn't help you may need to give the battery a little kick-charge for the PDA to recognize it again. the PDA "thinks" there's not battery if the battery voltage is below 2Volt.
to "kick-charge" the battery just get a AC adaptor with at least 5V and 1A (a.k.a. 1000mA) with 2 wires and connect them to the battery pins (with "+" and "-" correct!)

if you have your PDA lying in front of you with the display down and the battery cover opened, the pins of the battery are as following:

left: plus
middle: charging/temperature (not important for hand-charging)
right: minus

connect the wires of the AC adaptor correctly and let it "kick-charge" for about 5minutes (but NEVER let it charge any longer if the battery is getting hot!!!!)

after that, the PDA should recognize the battery again because the voltage is more than 3Volt again.

but don't (!) try to power it up after kick-charging!
the batterys voltage is higher than 3Volt again, but it takes just a few seconds to empty it again if u try that.
it's only for the PDA to "see" the battery again ;)

screen went into sleep mode. you can set the time in system manu some where.

to need a charger.

It might be possible to repair the tear. You'd need to bond a plastic backing to the back of the ribbon to support it. Clean off the front layer to expose the torn conductor ends then paint a thin strip of conductive epoxy or car heater matrix repair along each of the flat wires. Finish off by covering (when set) with scotch tape. Everything needs to be completely squeaky clean (use alcohol) before you start.

Try resetting. Use ur stylus and press the reset button for about 3 seconds. See if that works for ya.

Casio claims that once a password has been set in your unit it can't be reset without losing all data. You can try resetting and see if that works. Use ur stylus and press the reset button for about 3 seconds.

well there is a solution but im not too sure, but it is to get a cable that conects to ur phone and ur pda..that should work it not....there may be something wrong

Usually the ribbon cable connection that powers the backlight is the problem.If you remove the four screws in the back and take off the back cover. (note that there are two tabs on both sides of the cover half way up)You can see the white ribbon cable on the left above the battery back housing. Gently wiggle it and see if the backlight goes on. The cable is attached with a small brown insert that holds it in. It is removable so you might be able to get an electronics shop to replace the cable connection or the cable itself.

Sounds like you might have a bad cable or something. Did you try plugging ppc into its power pack while using the cable?

Sounds to me like you have a winning plan of attack. I did the same thing a couple years back, bought one of those 4XAA battery holders with a little slide switch and put a jack on the end of the wire...worked fine. Then I bought a 6V 1500 mAh rechargeable battery from Radio Shack that was made for r/c cars and such. It worked great too. Never had problem one with either setup.

As I remember it has some plastic bulges that fit into some indentations. Some gentle prying toward the bottom should show you some success. To get the things that hold it together apart you need to press in on one part and lift up on the other, but don't remember which. If you don't get it email me and I will go dig my old one out of the junk box and see which is which. It, by the way has a good screen/touchscreen I think, the light circuit got busted on it and I can't get parts.

1) Back up your device since we will be removing both batteries from your PocketPC. 2)Remove all 5 screws (4 in the back and one underneath the rubbery grip sticker on the side). NOTE: Be very careful with the sticker on the side. I just pried it up with my finger nail to get it started, but the adhesive part split off from the rubbery grip. I then had to pry up the adhesive part from the side of my EM-500. I got them back together in the end, so no harm done - just something to look out for.

Casio had a cable that had a serial port on one side and a connector to the E-1XX on the other side. Activesync works through this: I searched on Casio E-100 sync cable serial in Yahoo. It found two hits for a cable under $40. That should allow you to install programs over your serial port. I have persoanlly only used Etronics form the list of two and they did what they said they would do.

I can save successfully from my E-115 to my 128mb card. I have Flash Format installed, which indicates the following settings: Heads: 16; Cylinders: 948; Type: FAT16; Sector Size:512 Bytes; Cluster Size: 2kb. Are you using Flash Format?

Hello, Check that you formatted it with FAT (not FAT32 or NTFS). If not, format it again with this file system (FAT). I think it will resolve the problem.

I doubt it... I mean it is unlikely there is any incompatibility there. Go to your device manager and make sure that your USB ports are installed and configured properly for your USB cradel.
