I have a Dell Axim X5. I just upgraded to OS to Windows PocketPC 2003 and that went great.

However, it did not resolve a problem I have where it will not switch over to the back-up battery when the main battery runs down.

It used to work, then I didn't use it for several months and now that I am using it regularly again - I realized this problem started.

I have put new batteries in and tested to ensure they are fully charged. The power gauge shows it is 100% - however, once the main battery runs low - it shuts down even though the backup battery is new.

I have slightly bent up/in the backup battery metal contact pieces.

Any help?
Thanks Much.
