Vertical Colored Lines on Right of Screen?
Recently my AX showed up with colored lines on the right of the screen with blank on the left. It is completely dead for writing, changing to any program..calendar, etc. I have done a soft reset w/o success. I would like my expense account saved if possible. Does anyone have any idea as to what to do to restore my AX3?

Sounds like you have a bad screen, or at minimum a bad connection inside the device. Have you tried the good health smack on the side method?

I have heard this called the mexican blanket of death. It is a dead screen. You will need to replace it. My solution has been to buy a cheep used Axim X3 or X30 low with a good screen off of e-bay (I have replaced three screens, one with the mexican blanket of death). It is cheaper than buying a new screen and you get all the other extras (charger, battery etc.)
