Ipaq 5555 trouble

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Sounds to me as if the docking connector is bad. If so and it is out of
warranty it will cost about $135 from HP I believe.

Same thing happened to me with my 5550 - not working in the cradle, ony USB
if held just right. I fiddled with the docking connector at the base of the
5550 and separated the wires away from the middle lug very slightly (some
were compressed against the lug, some werent) - which made it work instantly
in the cradle.

As to it not turning on - I have seen similar after a crash using Terminal
Server and the unit hard reset. I think I got it back by removing /
replacing the battery, hard reset and puting the unit in the cradle (I was
trying everything) - eventually one reset it worked ok. HTH, good luck!
