Gulp!
I tried to turn my Axim on today and it was completely dead. I tried a soft reset and still nothing - not even a dull glow in the power button.
I took off the battery and looked at - don't know why i did this but there you go! - and it looked fine.
In the end i put the axim (with battery) in the cradle and after about 20 seconds i could turn it on. BUT.... the unit had done a hard reset and lost everything :-(

I looked at the battery under system and it reported 0% charge (it is now at 71% after charging for 1 hour). The backup battery is at 100%.

Can anyone advise me what has happened. Surely the battery going flat should not wipe the memory (my CF card still has its data).
