Here's a funny one for you... well, kind of sad actually as my warranty is gone.

My Axim wasn't working and there seemed to be something loose inside. I as able to just open up the side by the reset button and get the tip of a stylus and a small piece of electronic equipment out. Tried powering on the Axim and it worked fine.

I installed some new software for Rachel (my oldest daughter) to try out. It was a great game - Aerobeak - but as luck would have it after playing for a few minutes a screen popped up asking for the registration code. We were unable to exit this screen for some reason. I went to do a soft reset and *gasp* it doesn't work! Guess that piece of electonics that came out must've had something to do with the reset button.

I have Handmenu installed that can be used to do a soft reset, but if the screen is frozen it doesn't do any good. What makes this even more funny is that I cannot install anything on any CF card in my Axim. I have tried reformatting the cards and everything. I keep getting a message on my PC that the card is full. I have verified on my Ax that the card is empty. If I put the card in my 2215 it works fine.
