Re: [MBZ] OT even further than usual - IPAQ 5455
That was one of the first tries. I have been a bit obsessive about it at times and tried the procedure up to 50+ times in hopes that it was making some difference. Machine finally just resets and goes on as before. When it started acting up I was able to compensate by doing a purposeful misalignment about 1/4" low and left. That let me run the needed programs. Soon that quit working - and it also made some of the other programs not function correctly. I even worked with one of the software makers and they gave up with trying to get their software to work and refunded my money [BTW - that was Monopoly - a great and fairly fast game on a handheld]. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: [MBZ] OT even further than usual - IPAQ 5455
Pretty much what I feared. I was shocked some years ago when the standard repair on my Commodore 64 was to junk the insides and reuse the case. Repair work isn't what it used to be. I'll open it up as I do have nothing to lose. But not today. That, of course, is pretty much the modern mantra of repair, except for truly expensive (read: military/industrial) items. That is not to say, however, that the accomplished and brave DIY cannot fix them, but it's not cost-effective when you're paying scale for labor. -- Jim
