Since January the on/off button on my Axim X50 has been flashing green constantly at 1-second intervals. I have soft-booted numerous times with no effect. I have also removed the battery for 30-minute intervals on several occasions, but the flashing resumes after the battery is charged.

While the light is annoying, especially at night, it does not seem to have any effect upon battery life which remains good. However, I have not been able to sychronize with Activesync from shortly before the flashing started. This has been a nightmare because I cannot update my contacts and cannot synchronize with Avantgo!

This seems to be a hardware problem because I have re-installed Activesync on all my PC's to no avail. I have not been able to find any technical manual that indicates what this flashing light means. Does anyone know?

Also, I have been trying to determine if there is a way to copy my contacts from my laptop to my SD card or CF card in order to synchronize with the Axim. Similarly, is there a way to sync Avantgo to a SD or CF card in my laptop and then insert the card in my PDA to view the updates?

If I can't resolve this issue I'm going to have to purchase a new IPAQ because I'm hooked on using a PDA.
