charging/syncing pins bent
Can't charge my aximx3i because some of the pins on my handheld are bent and I can't seem to bend them back into place. I don't want to have to take it apart if I don't have to. Any suggestions? Is it worth it to try and get it fixed or do I just need to buy another one? Thanks

Over here someone posted that they had it fixed for little $ by a jeweler:

$60 to replace the assembly. A number of x30 users here have used them.

took mine to pocketpc techs as well, they replace it with the embedded pins on the circuit board so that they wont bend any more. I only had to send it back once more but it was not a pin bending problem, the whole entire connector came completely out of the unit!

Was it replaced under warranty? (The PPC Tech one that is)
