Hi, I have a problem.

My iPaq 114 hangs on the Windows Mobile 6 green boot screen.


I've tried to hard reset, it said "CLEAN BOOT", but that doesn't work. I've tried about 10 hard resets, all the same.

I've then tried using the SP38871 package to update the ROM, but the program tells me there is no connection between the iPaq and my PC.

Then I've found that if I push the Calendar+OK and tap the reset, it goes into a "SDCard Download Image" so I've copied the "HPImage.nbf" file from the SP38871 package, placed it on an SD Card, but then it says: "No download file found"

It's also acting weird, meaning that it does not start when I push the power button, only when I tap the reset (does that mean Windows Mobile boots, but then the whole screen turns black?)

I've uploaded a video to show you what I mean.

What could be the problem ? Could someone please help !

EDIT: I wrote the ROM file (HPImage.nbf) using ntrw.exe, but the iPaq says: "No boot block!" ... Does anyone have a good ROM ? Or if someone has a working iPAQ 114, could you please make a ROM backup and send it to me ? Or paste the HEX ROM Header. Just follow this guide:

Ok..... it seems I`m having charging problems...


I thought the battery was full, because the orange light did not come up.... Then, after playing with it a bit more, I notice that it charges only if I take out the battery, put it back in, and the connect it to USB or charger... When I start the device, it does not charge anymore.

Also, I've found that my PC can't even connect with it, eventhough it's running. Could it be the mini-usb connector ? Or maybe the internal ipaq battery ?

I've tried 2 USB-to-miniusb cables, and same symptoms on both of them...

I have had the device for about a year now and im just getting use to the way in which to charge this item. first of all boot problems are probably due to the device not having enough juice, but you probably have found that out yourself, so its not the pda crashing it just needs to be charged more.

secondly charging from a notebook will take long via usb charging, this is due to the amps given out from usb ports. what i did was go into settings find usb settings and swtich it it fast usb charging (in the hp pda settings on the device). make sure active sync 4.5 is installed aswell or it will keep shutting off the device.

if u charge via a desktop it seems to be quicker ( i have a 500watt power supply with tonnes of drives connected but seems to charge quicker through my desktop)

best way to charge this device it through you mains outlet, but nobodys wants to carry that plug around I feel once you change the charging settings to fast mode it will make significant difference. Oh and make sure you have xp sp2 as it needs usb2.0 for usb charging
