Hi folks,

I've recently attempted to update the firmware of my AXIM X30 mid 312Mhz PDA to the new A05 firmware, however, upon running the firmware update program, does a hard reboot, goes into a waiting state for the firmware update, but nothing ever happens. I take the X30 out of the cradle and the program states that it cannot detect the PDA once i replace it in the cradle. Not sure what's going on. Do i have a dodgy Axim X30?? Nothing is being uploaded. I've reinstalled MS ActiveSync 3.7.1 and tried it on another computer and still the damn PDA won't let the program upload the new A05 firmware. Am i alone on this one?

I'm a noob to PDA's and this is my 2nd AximX30, after the initial one that i received in the box had the issue of where you could not turn it off. You physically had to pull the battery out to turn of the damn unit!

Anyone shed any advice as to what i should do? Should i ask for a replacement AximX30???????? I just want it to do what i want it to do...... grrrrrr
