I'm not quite a newbie, but couldn't find a better place on the forum to post my inquiry.

I bought a used jornada 568 on ebay for dirt cheap because it was messed up and I thought I could fix it. However, they didn't properly describe the condition.

Here's what happens:

power up, blue screen that says HR 0001, then it asks me if I want to erase all data in the ram, if I select no, it procedes to the HP screen, then nothing from that point on. If I select yes, it procedes to the HP logo, then I see the little Win CE 'loading symbol', but it only shows up for a seccond, then it dissapears and I get an all-white screen. You know, the Win CE equivilent of the hourglass on regular windows.

Any Ideas?

I have yet to open the unit up because it uses the little hex screws that companies install as a minor copyright protection. And I do not have drivers small enough for it.
