Hi !!

I can't turn my x51v on, even after removing the battery : it freezes on the blue Dell screen. The only way to turn it off is to remove the battery.

I tried to hard reset it. After the Warning dialog, I press the Contacts button and my x51v reboots...but I still get the same frozen blue Dell screen.

My ROM is the French A00. The new French A01 ROM has been online for 2 or 3 days, but I can't install it because I can't synchronize my PDA with my computer (I need to turn it on before ).

Please help me.
Thanks a lot.

Try leaving it on the cradle so it is charging and then just let it run for a while, like 20-30 minutes and see if it unfreezes itself. I had that happen to me.

Dave,

I just left my axim charging on the cradle.

2 hours later, it was fully charged, but still frozen !!

Any idea ?

Remove any cards (SD/CF) and try another hard reset while it is on the charger. if it doesn't free itself up then I would call dell for a replacement.

Or mabey try the SD Boot loader thing.

Thank you guys.

I phoned Dell yesterday. They'll send me a new one soon. :)

By the way, I wasn't able to test it, but it seems there's a trick to get Axim technical details : hold Reset + Wifi + Power during 5 seconds and release Power button. Maybe you already know this one, or maybe it doesn't work !!

For the very first time tonight my x51v wouldn't start up... I tried the reset/wifi/power combination and was able to bring it back to life. Thanks!

I've been having problems with getting my Axim out of standby mode to a point of doing a soft reset everytime; finally I tried shuting down WLAN before going into standby mode; haven't had a problem since. Unit comes right back up, then I put the WLAN on and go about my business. When I'm done, I make sure I turn off the WLAN. Seems to cure my problem, but is a pain in the a**.

I had similar issues and after applying ROM A06 and the 'fake server trick' process posted on this site as a 'sticky note' they do not occur any more.
