WOW…two HP items in two days. Maybe it is a sign to come that we wiil be getting more from HP….I hope so! I miss the roll outs of new devices!

In any event, we now have a solution for an issue with the WM5 ROM for the 4700. There have been a few "hacks" to fix the issue but here is an official ROM fix….I like that.




REMINDER: The RUU is designed to replace the current ROM image and to erase the partnership and all user data and programs on the handheld. It is important to read and understand the information in the Readme file that is included with this update BEFORE installing the package.

Fixes
Fixes issue where certain CompactFlash (CF) memory cards and I/O cards do not respond.

Enhancements
Improves performance.

Prerequisites
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 (or later) is required.

Notes

PURPOSE:
Recommended

    My non-HP battery will now not charge
    I have hx4700 with WM 5.0

    I installed the following
    http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/23729.html

    then
    http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/23338.html

    (maybe the second file was wrong?) I was following this direction - "After this ROM update has been installed, it is also necessary to install the HP iPAQ hx4700 Pocket PC Series Firmware Update for ROM Version 1.10 to restore the extended battery capacity value to its original, setting"

    The PDA works but it does not want to charge a non-HP battery. The battery worked perfectly previously. When I put in the original HP battery it works perfectly. Non-HP batter nothing.

    Has anyone else experienced this?
