Hi Arnage2 and deltrevan,

Thanks for the advise.

The problem was that the iPAQ just won't turn on at all. Soft reset, even attempting the Hard Reset multiple-button-press procedures doesn't do anything.

Finally, in last attempt, I took out the battery, left the iPAQ for more than 30 minutes, put battery back, say my prayers a few times, and hit the reset button.

VOILA! The iPAQ is ON again, but now it's in fresh mode, just as if it is has been hard-reset.

I did a restore using Pocket Backup and it all looks good. Couple of questions:
1. Does anyone know what is the cause of this sudden-death-syndrome?
2. After restore, the PPC date is May 5, 2003, even though the backup was done on April 8, 2004. Why is this?
