Mobility Site - View Single Post - Help: Sync Cable Problem or my Axim's Problem

A search would have found this answer but here it is anyway. If the cable is only connected to the usb port and no other power is input then it cant get enough power to charge and sync especially if the battery is lower than about 75%. You need an external ac adapter to make it work that way. That is what is causing the flickering. I wouldn't let it run that way as there is no way of telling if it may cause harm but I suspect it isn't good for the pda. You also may be in danger of blowing up your usb ports if they aren't protected well enough. Not a good idea.
