Hi guys, my axim x5 suddenly won't turn on. i tried to charge it overnight and still wont boot-up. the led is red and turns to green but unable to boot-up. im thinking it was the battery but i did using my mugen battery and also replaced the internal battery but unfortunately wont open. device never been dropped or something like that. any idea guys?

Have you tried doing a soft reset or removing your CF or SD cards? Sometimes that helps. Last resort would be to try a hard reset, but then you'll lose everything.

BTW, to Aximsite!

already did a soft and hard reset but still the device wont turn-on. the device seems it still charging thru the usb or the wall connector..but it really wont turn on. any other idea guys? or this is another story of a big shiny paper weight?

i_am_rie,

Try the diagnostic utility that is built into the X5.

To do that, see my Post #2 at the following link:

If you get your X5 to power up, run, and pass the diagnostic, then your problem is likely to be that the OS needs to be reloaded from a CF card (follow the directions for the tom61 link at the bottom of my Post #2).

If you can't get your X5 to power up at all, or if it fails the diagnostic, then your X5 has gone on to Pocket PC nirvana.

Good luck! Let us know how things turn out....
