ipaq 1945 "shortout"?

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

Just got an ipaq 1945 through ebay. I was hotsyncing lots of music onto the
card of my ipaq hp 1945. I fiddled around with other things on the computer
while doing it. I went to the pocket pc and found its screen a big blur. It
eventually gave me a screen but will not respond to commands for other
screens (e.g. contacts, etc.). It stays just on one screen. All the
programs are still on it, from looking at its files through the sync
program. What happened? Do I need to "let it cool?" Did something short out?

Soft reset the machine. They can overload and lock up after a lot of
activity.
