It works again when I soft reset this thing

So you have to soft reset every time after you lose a connection?

jpiercy · 04-13-04, 08:30 PM

yup

so far

Im going set a timer next time it goes off and wont respond

I love the size and all the features , but this losing a connection is nonsense

Why cant Dell test this %@%@%$# before it sells it

lol, sry! Do you have all the patches for the X3?

jpiercy · 04-13-04, 08:44 PM

I dont have this latest one , I think one came out today or yesterday

http://www.aximsite.com/showarticle....&postid=263037

But Im current

I saw a downloadable driver on the Axim site

So not sure if my Cd driver for this board is current
or not , I would think the cd is more current

Yours would be newer...the x3 wasn't even out in 2003 when that driver was released. You might want to clean the contacts on the keyboard and axim, but other than that, i can't offer any useful advice.

I just re-did my updates and no changes

I shouldnt have to reset , everytime I slap this on the keyboard

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Im gonna re-load new cd drivers , one more time

If not this thing is going back

I have no problems with mine. I dont lose sync/connectivity with the axim. Check your connection with the keyboard, make sure the axim is in nice and tight. May sound stupid but its all I can think because I dont have issues with it.

thanks for the tip

Ill try it out

oh, by the way, I never downloaded the driver, just used the one that came with the CD.

I spoke to Dell today and they will ship me a new KB

I'm glad you're getting a new one...I've had mine for a little while now, and its great. Saves me a heap of time writing e-mails and Word documents....even just simple tasks.

I was a bit dubious of being able to justify the costs of my ever expanding bag of x3i accessories....but I can now use the Axim for just about everything I could a laptop, but for 1/3 of the total price.

Axim x3/x5...............don't leave home without it!

Same prob;em with this second one

Dang ,,,,,
When it works , it works for a 2 minutes , then I lose the connection , even when I enable keyboard again , it doesnt work

Im getting tired of this

Maybe I should do a hard reset and see what happens

I had the same problem with my keyboard...Called Dell, and after a hard reset haven't had any trouble.

good luck
