Axim doesn't turn on after WM5 upgrade--sometimes.

Well, I had my Axim at school today and when I went to turn it on, nothing happened. I didn't have it "locked." I had to do a soft reset before the unit would respond. I thought it was odd and quickly turned it off and then on again--no problems.

About a half hour later when I got home, I tried to turn it back on, and the same thing happened--no turn on. The device was first locked and then a predetermined amount of time passes. I unlock the device (using the switch) and then try to turn the unit on and it won't turn on. Still, I have to perform a soft reset and wait 45 seconds or whatever.

A brief history: I put my Axim X50v in its cradle last night to charge and immediately my laptop (Dell Inspiron 9100) just shut off completely--no warnings. Then, when removed my Axim from its cradle this morning, all I got was a white screen--non responsive. A soft reset fixed the white screen.

Programs I have installed:
CalliGrapher 8.1
Pocket Informant 2005 R3
King Sol Solitaire 2004
Slurp
Yahtzee
Worms World Party
eWallet 4.0.2
Griff (with pSyn, PocketVoid, PocketPluck)
ListPro
Lexisgoo Dictionary
PhatNotes 4.5.3
PhadPad 2.2
Resco Photo Viewer 5.32
Pocket Stars 3.2.5
TCPMP w/plugins

I just made CalliGrapher not the default input device for reset and will test is this makes a difference.

Does WM5 go into a hibernation mode that I'm not aware of? There wasn't a manual that came with WM5--just a new X50v manual that covered some of the basics of the X50v.

Thanks,
Scotty
