I have a palm pilot that has mysteriously acquired a syncing problem. (I
say mysteriously because it never left the cradle during the month I never
touched it.)
I eliminated the chance of it being a software syncing problem (testing it
on various machines) and I also eliminated the chance of it being a cradle
problem.
What is happening is when I press the hotsync button the cradle, the
"Connecting with the desktop using DirectSerial" pops up. Normally what it
would do is the middle graphic would "animate". However, now it just sits
there. After about 1 minute, an error message pops up saying.
"The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be
established. Please check your setup and try again."
The Palm itself seems to work fine (Palm Vx) except it won't sync. Has
anyone ever seen this?
Would anyone know if I did a certain type of "reset" or perhaps flash the
palm (somehow) if it would fix this problem? Procedures would be much
appreciated... as well as any ideas.
Thanks,
