Hey all,

This morning while being in a hurry, I triped over the usb cable of my pcc and it fell on the ground. As soon as I picked it up I tried to turn it on as it has turn off. I tried but nothing. I tried resetting but it would just freeze at the bios screen [screen is not broked]. Tried reset button again, same. Tried once more, it got pased the bios, the little sound went out of the speaker and it shut down. Then I took everything out, let it there and put it back together, now the screen is white with backlight on and nothing shows up and none of the buttons dont work. Even the reset one. So I take everyhting out, put it back together a few hours later, still shows white screen.

What can I do?

The screen and bios 'seem' to be fine since they both worked after the accident. Any ideas anyone?

Don't quote me, but I remember hearing about something like this happening and it being a loose wire or something to that nature. Like I said, don't quote me on that though.

Sounds like the RAM chip is damaged. If you don't have it under warranty I'd open her up and see what you can do to fix it yourself, it might be something simple. But if it's not something simple then you might as well get a new PocketPC anyway, since URThere isn't exactly reliable.

Moose, what do you suggest I look at when I open it up? Got some suggestions?

Zahn, nie jestem z polski, ale z kanady :)
Przez 'przeinstalowanie systemu', co masz na mysli?
