I think my power/sync connector on my 5450 might be faulty. I noticed when I plugged in my mini-sync cable that the backflight flashed on and off as though power was intermittent.

I wiggled the cable a bit and it settled down, but was sensitive to bumps. I didn't think much of it because the mini-sync is not a robust cable.

But I noticed when I tried to cradle the iPaq the same thing happened. This may have been the fact that it was in the HP ThumbBoard jacket at the time. It seemed alright when I took it out of the jacket.

Is it likely that the iPaq itself is developing a fault, or is it more likely that I just failed to make a good connection each time?
