Check for missing components. I dropped my X50v a few weeks ago and I thought it was fine until it started crashing/locking up/making static noises when shaken. I took it apart and found that one of the surface mount capacitors had fallen off of the board and was rattling around, shorting out things. I removed it from the case and it no longer has problems. Luckily, the Axim functions without the part that broke on mine, it could be more serious on yours such as a bad connection under the CPU/RAM/Flash/GPU/etc. If it is like any other BGA fix, you could try applying heat to your Axim motherboard (remove all plastic parts and the screen first!)...first just take a hair dryer or craft heat gun and blow hot air over the board, do this in quick sweeps, don't hold the heat on a single component, keep moving the heat around the board (especially if you're using a high temperature heat gun, it will destroy components if you hold it on them but sweeping will help the solder connections). See if that helps, it is a common fix for the broken connections on the Xbox 360 and the Axim uses the same type of connections (BGA - Ball Grid Array) to connect the main chips to the board.
