ORG" and other Linux handheld technical sites? The website www. It is way past March 1st, and the site is still down. Does anyone know what happened? I think that now that Linux works out of the box on most devices, the need for specialised sites is gone.

Plus, there are any number of blogs that also fill the niche of installing to a non-desktop PC environment. Last edited by rokytnji; at AM. If you have not upgraded your boot loader to version 2. Compaq Research will ensure that you do not permanently turn your iPAQ into a paperweight , but it is very inconvenient for all of us if we have to fix a unit that was rendered nonbooting by a failed installation or WinCE restoration. If you save an image of your Windows CE software as described in the WinCE restoration instructions then you will be able to restore it again after installing Linux.

The restoration process is not simple. It is error-prone. But it is available. We will help anyone who has trouble with it. We are working on an improved process, but it is not ready yet. The bootldr encapsulated in osloader 1. You will also be using HyperTerminal or other terminal emulator capable of the xmodem protocol, such as minicom on Linux. The files will be saved in the My Device folder -- the root folder on the device. It will just freeze the ipaq, causing the screen to go blank.

Copy wince-bootldr. You do not need to rename it. You should now see the bootldr splash screen. On the PC disconnect the ActiveSync application it is holding onto the serial port you need. On the PC, right click on the ActiveSync logo in the tooltray. Select the Connections Settings. Deselect Allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM port. The memory info chips etc very useful, and LCD power inverter jeez Great to know that info is tucked away in a safe place.

Sort of an exotic web site Max Planck Society types and all. If I join they'd make me "walk the planck" for sure well ArchiMark: Hey, good to hear you're back on the trail. So may not really need the Ambicom 54Mbs card if 11Mbs will do but do keep trying and thanks for your help doing all that. I cloned the whole thing for posterity. It comes to 12gb but I think there are a few large files under. I'm having a go. I've got a J board that suffered from being fed too high a voltage I think.

A few components were obviously burned to look at, but after removing them it seemed that the output of a burned MOSFET was still shorted. By looking at datasheets I found that it was the output driver of a buck converter, and removed the capacitor and diode from that drive circuit too, and the short has gone, so one or other of those was fried, but both looked OK visually.

I'm hoping that I've now found all the dead parts, but I wont know if anything else has also been fried until I replace them, and if any of the larger chips are dead it's game over. The hardest part has been identifying parts, because these little discrete components have obscure codes written on them that have little relation to the actual part numbers. If I do get it going again I'll make a post about it. Touch screens and LCDs on these devices are custom and a real pain because of that, and probably not repairable I'm afraid.

Sometimes FPCs get tiny cracks in them, or it may be that the digitizer has taken a knock. If you have some patience you can figure out the connections for it and check if it registers a touch using a multimeter.

The interface for a resistive touch screen logically looks like two resistors, so you're looking for four wires, and have to figure out which pair is the X resistance and which pair is Y you can sometimes tell from looking at the touch panel itself.
