Help: Ipaq 3635 firmware failed, serial reload not working

Archived from groups: comp.sys.handhelds,microsoft.public.handheldpc (More info?)

Robert,

Sorry to hear of your problem. You've really posted into the wrong
group. MS.Pub.HPC especially. We're for a different class of device.

You will get your question through to the correct targeted group at:
microsoft.public.pocketpc

Good luck

Didn't work, not surprised.

The CF image would probably work, and umm, it's a 3635. Not new.
