Axim will not respond to Stylus



All of a sudden tonight my Axim will not respond to the stylus. I've soft-booted it several times; plugged it into the quick-wall charger; set it in the cradle; by using the buttons on the front I finally got to the resetting screen but could only get the middle, upper left, lower left X and when it got to the right X it just froze--no more. It turns on and wakes up real slow. Any hints? Please help! My life is in this PDA!! If you wish to contact me offlist I am kaybear0928@yahoo.com

I had a palm zire do this and could never recover from it. It is now a Brick. Good Luck.

kaybear,

Your touchscreen problem sounds to me like it may be one that is fairly common with the X5....

Go to the following link and check out my comments in Post #3:

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...=x5+screen+fix

If the business card cleaning idea doesn't work, then you'll have to disassemble your X5 to clean any debris from around the screen edges and/or do the "black tape fix." Hope that you have a backup of your X5 data before you do that, since it'll hard reset your X5....

Good luck!

Remove the screen protector, if you're using one
