For no known reason my X50v has frozen and nothing I can think of will unfreeze it. The LOCK button is off and the unit won't soft or hard reset. Whenever I try either, the progress bar at the bottom slides to about 8/10's the length and stops. That's it. Doesn't matter if the battery is full or depleted. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
The very first reset screen with the blue background and the Dell name and logo. The progress bar runs along the bottom then stops about 4/5 of the way across. That's it. Nothing more until another hard reset when the same thing happens. I sent the unit to a PDA repair outfit in Texas and they told me it needed a new mobo for $225. I passed.

Worse than sad... virtually criminal, and I let Dell know it. the unit was barely two years old, babied for all of it's short life... never dropped, exposed to extreme temperatures or even yelled at too badly. I wasn't, and aren't happy. The design life of a $400 piece of electronics should be more than two years. That said, it's actually the best PDA I'd ever owned.
this is what killed my x50mid that I bought in september 2005 it died in feb 2006 so I called dell and they replaced it with another x50mid that shortly developed directional pad problems(pressing right would open calendar) so I told dell and they replaced that with another x50mid that developed battery charging problems a month later so after dealing with that for 2 mos I called dell in may and they replaced it with an x50v and in june it had the problem u described once and I kept getting screen corruption then in july it completely froze again but snapped out of it once again but continued to have screen corruption so after the 2nd freeze I decided to call dell and they upgraded me to an x51v which is what I still have today and making this very post on.

God I wish mine was still under warranty. I Have a dell axim x50 mid and it was upgraded to WM5 1 1/2 ago and it freezes 8/10 of the way. I try to hard reset it but no go. Any ideas on how to revive it? I already bought another one on ebay for 140 but i would like to have a spare.
