Your device was not detected.

Hi All,

I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out what's wrong with my Dell
Axim 3.

I unplugged everything on my pc during the hurricanes. Just left
everything sitting in place and covered with plastic in case the roof
went. Then, no power for 7 days.

When I finally set everything back up, my axim won't connect. I keep
getting *your device not detected*. I've tried everything:
remove and reinstall Active Sync
using all the different USB ports on my desktop pc (they work with
other devices)
soft reset
hard reset, you name it, I've done it.

The cradle seems to be working since everything is lit up.
The axim is working just fine. I just cannot get a connection between
the 2.

Can anyone help me out here?

I get this a LOT - the equivalent of a BSOD in old Windows - it requires you
t reset the device.
Just poke the pin in the hole, and when the device reboots - plug the USB
cable in.
It should be recognized just fine.

"Is failing"?!

Does this mean that the device is just so buggy that Dell's gonna send
everyone replacements or something?
Is it like a regular "recall" thing?

Maybe it's the USB drivers for your PC that is messed up. Worth trying
anyways.
