I have to soft reboot to power-up Ipaq sometimes :(

Hi all!

Just purchased a 2210, and sometimes, after I've turned the unit off by a quick press of the power button, I have to preform a soft reboot to bring it back to life. It's about 2 out of 10 times this happens. And it's not related to how many, if any programs are running at the time either.

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

I knew this was coming :D

I have version 1.00 or 1.01, certainly not the one on the link you've posted. I considered upgrading it, cos I always get tempted by an upgrade Smile

, but I'm not overly keen on re-installing everything. Plus there were reports of Ipaq's not booting and people reverting back to the previous version.

Was this suggestion of ROM upgrade based on knowledge or are we eliminating possibilities here?

Cheers,
Carl.

Yeah I did see the vast list of fixes/enhancements, but none actually refer to my problem. But I guess there's only way to find out eh? :D

Will keep you posted, thanks!
