ASUS MyPal A632 turning off by itself

I had this problem on my A639 after going on holiday with it (I think the x-ray scanners did something to it). It started switching itself off more and more as the days went by until one day it went off and never came back. After resetting it, it just stayed on the blue "ASUS Rock Solid Heart Touching" screen. I was worried that it was totally broken and I'd have to pay to get it repaired, but after searching the internet it turned out all I needed to do was re-flash the ROM with a fresh copy (I used the latest ROM). It now works fine and no longer turns itself off... didn't cost me ANYTHING to fix :-)

Usually that indicates a hardware problem. Try removing the battery and leaving it out overnight then with the charger ONLY try turning it back on. If it turns on GREAT. Now try it with the battery back in.

If that doesn't work it's toast :(

If you have the right charger with cable and can plug in at the bottom of the LOOX,then You can use the 710 WITHout removal battery (LiON). The internal backup battery
will charge then The internal backup battery is NiHm and will sometimes NOT recognized by WindowsMobile. P.lease check several times energy state in WindowsMobile
(green bar shows percentage). If you have craddle and charger you can try to charge removal battery in slot behind plastic shield.


If you not have the rigth charger try to lend a ASUS MyPal A serie (A632 aso) it will fit

Happens to me AGAIN. Had this fixed two times (unit was replaced) and it happens again. Every time I REALLY need a GPS, it doesn't turn on.
Do not buy A696 if You read it - you have been warned.

Next to the headphone jack, on the longer side, you will find a "HOLD" slider switch. It is presently showing red, meaning engaged. Push it back to the off, or normal position. This will release the lockup.

If you haven't tried already flip the switch behind the device....

Happened the same for me.
After lots of digging & googling I found the simple solution:

At the back of the PDA there is a "Hold" button. Change the position back and it starts to respond as usual before.
