Chriva.
Can you get the parrot bootloader to appear? Does anything appear on the serial when you turn the device on. Does the battery light flash when you plug it in to charge?
If you've really killed your iPAQ, you can send it here, saying you were trying to install Linux on it and trashed it:
iPAQ Valhalla
Compaq Cambridge Research Laboratory
One Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142
617-551-7600
The address was taken from the iPAQ mailing list @ handhelds.org - look through their archives at all of the "[iPAQ] bricked iPAQ" posts, or post a help-request there.
The reflash should be free, but they say it'll take longer than if you pay your local Compaq centre to fix it.
Cheers,
