Well I would think so. batteries cause all sorts of headaches even when brand new, so I personally would get a new one, install it charge it up for required period as recommended, and see if that works.

I did a hard reset and the problem was gone (I've lost all the calendar and contacts data but they were restored after making the synchronisation)

and download the drivers after registering youself there and do burn a CD for future.

seems like you have a problem with your charger.happened to me too.did you try charging the ipaq via the usb cable on your computer?

What maps it comes with depends on where you buy it. I have an Australian version which includes maps for all of Australia and works fine. Tom Tom update the maps periodically but an update is about A$150. It will also work with any other Tom Tom maps you have.

Sounds like you've got the ActiveSync setting for the Calendar set to one-way from computer to PDA, not Synchronise, which means the computer will always over-write anything it finds on the PDA that isn't in the computer. Try uninstalling/reinstalling ActiveSync, and pay particular attention to all the settings when you reconnect the PDA and it sets up the connection - from memory at this point you can define the "direction" of synchronisation.

Try putting the files like this:
In My Device/iPAQ File Store/iPAQ GPS, put the folder with your country name (in my case it says Australia), the "Navigator" folder and the "GPS" and "Map ID" files.
In My Device/My Documents/Tom Tom you should have a file thats called something like "Australia-3bc66a12" (will be different for other countries), and another called "TTToday" and any POI files you've created.
See how that goes. Otherwise, you may be able to reinstall TomTom software from the original disk if you have it. Any map upgrades you've bought will need to be reloaded from TomTom Home

First checkpoint is the internal antenna - you can check this by getting hold of an external one (they're about AUS$20 off the net, make sure its got a MMCX connector). If that works, the internal antenna is detached/failed. This may be beyond a home remedy and require HP repair (or just settle for using the external antenna).

What version of ActiveSync are you using? Open ActiveSync on the PC, then open "About ActiveSync" under the "Help" menu - it should be version 4.5. If not, download version 4.5 from Microsoft as a first attempt to fix the problem. If you are using 4.5, try uninstalling/reinstalling again but make sure you do a soft reset (push the pin on the top of the device) before you connect the Ipaq. If this doesn't work let me know and we'll try some other things.

retrun it, cancel your credit card, go to paypal and they can resolve it.
